Where do you buy your car tires?

I'm always haphazard、Buy at a tire specialty store、There are various things such as buying at a dealer.。

Recently、The environment where you can buy tires online is becoming better.。

So this time、I tried to find out which is cheaper: buying at a car parts store or buying online.。

As an image、I feel like it would be cheaper to buy online.、I checked to see what actually happened.。

Comparison stores、2 items at car parts stores in town、We compared 3 stores in total, including 1 online store.。

The product to be compared is Dunlop's Enasave EC204 155/65/R14

this time、Products to be compared、

I chose Dunlop's Enasave EC204 product.。
Not studless etc.、It is a normal tire。

I chose this product because it is a commonly available product on the market.。

In a set of 4、change tires

The comparison was made under the condition of。

The tire size is、Typical size of light vehicle、

１５５／６５／R１４

I made it。

The first one is、This is the price if you buy it at a car parts store that you often see around town.。

I checked the prices for 4 tires.、

24,800 yen

Here、as miscellaneous expenses

Shipping fee: 1,100 yen x 4 →4400 yen

This online store's system is、

buy tires online

→ At the same time, select a store near your home to exchange and specify the exchange date.
(Tires will be shipped by that day)

→ Go and change the tires on the specified replacement date.

It is a system called。

Comparing the three...

that's all、I will check the prices at the three stores again.。

・Car supplies store A35,360 yen

・Car supplies store B34,320 yen

・Online store C34,320 yen

The surprise is、To my surprise, the price was the same at car parts store B and online store C.。

Is there such a thing?。

Either one、I guess the price is set with one of these in mind.。

The other store is not that different either.、It seems that both parties set prices with each other in mind.。

What to worry about when shopping online...

Things to worry about when purchasing from an online store、

Tires manufactured in an older month won't arrive?

about it。

If you buy at a store、I can check the manufacturing date of the tire.、That doesn't happen when you buy online.。

If you receive a product with an older manufacturing month、It's a bit disappointing.。

When it comes to exchanging、It will take a lot of effort to get it back、It feels like it takes a lot of time、That's the only thing I'm worried about...

I use it normally when talking in conversation

・Compare the prices of car tires

・2 car supplies stores and 1 online store

・The difference is about 1000 yen

・What to worry about when buying online、Is it possible to receive tires that are manufactured in an older month?

this time、Dunlop's tires、Check the price when buying tires for EC204 155/65/R14 at physical stores and online stores.、I tried comparing。

I thought it would be cheaper to buy online.、There was less of a difference than I expected.。

I think you can try this campaign、When the tire size becomes large、It may be cheaper to buy online。

At a physical store、When tire size increases、This is because replacement costs are often higher.。

after、As an option、If you use original tires sold at car parts stores,、This means that the price will be considerably lower.。

The lowest price at the store we checked this time is、There was one that cost 13,156 yen for 4 pieces.。

It's more than 10,000 yen cheaper than this Dunlop tire.。
(It's more than 2,500 yen cheaper per bottle)

タイヤは性能的なものを無視するのはちょっと怖い感じがありますので、あまりにも安いものを買うのは抵抗があるという方もおられると思います。

この見極め、判断が難しいかもしれません。

but、普通に販売されていることを考えると、I don't think there's anything to worry about that much.、How about that…

Either way、I have to replace my tires soon、I would like to check it again at that time.。

The above contents、I would be happy if I could be of help to someone.。

Please read to the end、thank you very much!

*For those who can easily change tires by themselves.、It's great because you can quickly buy it online.
