Part of knowing how to choose tires involves the ability to take advantage of rebates and coupons offered from various sources. The best place to buy tires is from a seller willing to post coupons online, which are usable for both online and in-store tire purchases. A tire rebate is a cash-back or money-back offer based on qualified purchase conditions. 

For example, you might have to pay full price for a set of four new tires, but if you buy them by a certain promotional date the seller refunds you part of the total price within a specified amount of days. Tire rebates range from 5-50 percent to back or more with qualified purchases. The best rebates even get the full price of 1-2 tires refunded back to you.

A rebate might be returned as cash or a store credit/gift card. Sometimes a rebate is mailed to you as a check, which is made out directly from the seller. Other times your rebate is processed as a refund to your Paypal, bank or applicable credit/debit card account.

Yearlong discount tire prices also are available through various online coupon-based websites. Discount tire coupons help you save hundreds of dollars on new brand name tires, but how do you find these deals? 

Certain companies specialize in coupons for a wide variety of products including cheap new tires. Groupon is perhaps the most well known online coupon-based company in business today. Valpak, Retail Me Not, Honey, Coupon Cabin and Capital One Shopping are other popular coupon-based websites offering discounts on new tires from various sources around the country. 

National tire manufacturers and installation service providers also post coupons on their respective websites. National Tire and Battery (NTB) is one of the best known online and in-person tire sellers in the U.S. today.
