I do not work for, or with, Kaufman Tires.

I use Kaufman tires religously. There are several reasons:

1) They will patch, not plug, a flat tire for free. It doesn't matter who you bought the tire from. It's a free patch for any and all car tires for $10. That includes balancing, installation and anything else. Great franchise.

2) The price they quote you in the salesroom is the final price. If they say a set of tires will cost $400, it'll cost $400. Unlike their competitors, there's no extra fee for environmental disposal, valve stems (!!!!) or any other loony service.

3) Lifetime balance and rotation if you buy your tires from them.

4) They have fair prices and stock high quality tires.

5) Also, ask the service manager for equivalent generic tires. These tires are made in the same factory with same material as the name brand tire. You'll see a lot of cross-overs between Firestone and other brands. They'll be glad to get the book out for you.

That's how they hooked me. I go nowhere else.
Many Thanks,
Bright
