Can you still negotiate for tires at a discount tire chain?

I am going to get new tires at a chain like Discount Tire or Tire America and wanted to ask - Can I negotiate or do I just pay the price quoted?|||The prices are in the computer, so there's not much to negotiate.





HOWEVER, they do have coupons they can throw in.





Just the other day I had to go to a WheelWorks to get 2 new tires for my Olds (yes, I drive an Olds). I was told that my factory OEM Michelins are no longer made. The guy then offered me a MUCH better tire... Falken ZE-512's for about the same price. I told him I'd think about it... And he offered me a $20 coupon if I make up my mind. Sold! Even WITH installation and balancing and rotation it's under $200 for both tires.|||It all depends on who you are working with. I was an assistant Mgr for a Discount tire store and yes we did negotiate allot. "no one walks" is the rule. I suggest to everyone to research your tires before you buy them.

|||Well... They have a ton of discounts available. For example: Student discount, auto workers discount, etc.





For flat out negotiating the price, I don't think you can do that.|||other than coupons no....they person you talk to is they guy that gives you the set price from the big corporations that own the stores





i work for tires plus and when i buy tires i pay 10% over store cost unless there is a special the company is running





so no....one of the salesman gets angry when customers ask if he can give them a cheaper price....you dont go to the grocery store and take a loaf of bread the the register and ask if they can knock some money off.....or do you?
