Hey folks,
I'm looking at possibly getting a set of Vredestein Quatrac tires for my Subaru. In terms of availability it seems like Les Schwab is the only brick & mortar location in my state that stocks them. Including tax it's just over $1,000 for a set. Alternatively, I could buy them on TireRack for $564 (including tax) and have either Discount or a mobile installer mount them for $100-$130 extra. So, this seems pretty obvious right? I can't believe the price disparity. I'm just curious if I'm missing something here and curious why is Les Schwab so much more expensive than their competitors? They do have locations all over here so in terms of flat repair/tire replacement I do know that's easy, but the TireRack deal comes with 2 years road hazard. Anywho, thoughts?
