4 Perks of Buying Tires at Sam's Club

Sam's Club is a great place to buy many different kinds of items, from household goods to clothing and electronics. These items come with prices that are friendly to your bank account, and you'll have a pretty good selection of them at most Sam's Club stores.

Beyond the basics, though, Sam's Club also offers great deals on items you might not expect -- like tires. While Sam's Club may not be the first place you'd think of to get new tires for your vehicle, there are plenty of great reasons to break out your credit cards and get some new wheels there.

Here are a few big perks of buying tires at Sam's Club.

1. Sam's Club offers great prices

Sam's Club offers affordable prices on tires, especially when the store is running one of its frequent promotions.

Best of all, you're actually guaranteed the lowest price there thanks to Sam's Club's "Dare to Compare" offer. With this offer, if you can find a better "all-in" price for tires, installation, and a comparable warranty, Sam's Club will match it.

While this guarantee has some fine print associated with it, including the fact that the competitor offer must include mounting, balancing, prorated road hazard protection, and a few other items, the fact is that you can ensure you don't overpay by taking advantage of Sam's Club's low-price promise.

2. Sam's Club offers tire installation with tons of perks

Sam's Club's premium tire installation package will cost you only $20 per tire, which is a huge bargain when you consider what this package comes with.

You will benefit from a huge number of perks after Sam's Club installs your tires, including waste tire disposal, road hazard protection, free flat repair for the life of the tire, lifetime tire balancing, and lifetime tire rotation.

These perks can help you rest easy by knowing if there's a problem with the tire after it's installed, Sam's Club will be there to help you out.

3. Roadside assistance

If you remain an active Sam's Club member after having your tires installed, you also get another huge benefit: 24/7 access to roadside assistance. This is available to you for three years from the date of your tire installation. The service provides:

• Towing
• Help if you get a flat tire
• Delivery of fuel
• Help if you get locked out of your vehicle
• Winching or extraction
• A vehicle jump start

If you find yourself stranded on the side of the road, you'll be very glad you qualified for this perk by choosing to have your tires installed at Sam's Club.

4. You can shop while your tires are installed

Finally, the last big benefit of having your tires installed at Sam's Club is that you can shop while the work is being done. Sam's Club offers appointments or walk-in service, with Plus members getting early access.

Since it can take time to have your new tires installed, it's helpful to be at Sam's Club where you can get your groceries rather than getting stuck at a standalone tire store where there's less to do.

For all four of these reasons, you should seriously consider getting your next set of tires at Sam's Club. You won't regret it.
