Default NTB buy 2 get 2 free

Anyone check this out? It said in stock and with premium installation. Wondering what the premium install costs. Seems too good to be true

I had the tires and ball joints replaced on my work vehicle at NTB a couple months ago. They were having this same deal going on then, and some lady came in looking to take advantage of it. What I gathered from it is that it only applies to certain brands and sizes of tires that they sell. And it seemed very limited, and that lady ended up paying full price for her tires. I think it's just basically a way to lure people into the store, but I don't know for sure if any of those specific brands and sizes would benefit any of us. Only way to find out is go and start asking questions. Just don't get duped into buying tires you don't want or need.

Yes it all adds up to about a 200.00 dollar tire install.............not a good deal at all.

Anyone call and get details? I suspect it's closer to buy four for the price of three all said and done. The alignment is the killer.

The only tire they had for a fx4 with that special was a nitto crosstek. total out the door would have been $759. NOT A DEAL AT ALL.
the buy 2 get 2 means you have to have them do a alignment, buy road hazard,pay install,etc.

Go to a small local tire shop and get it done much cheaper.

It's $868 for just the tires with out the buy 2 get 2 deal. How is that not a good deal?

Mine were 275/55/20 (Crosstek) at $833 OTD with lifetime rotation. Wouyld have been 1175 with out the deal.

How you like the Crossteks? I've been considering them, but not a whole lot of feedback on them.

Well...I won't have them till next Friday. They sold the last set in the city (out of 4 tire kingdoms) Saturday and I went this morning and the manager told me they would order 2 sets and put one aside for me. I'll let you know though. I drive 400-500 miles a week so I'll have a good idea how they are pretty fast.

because local mom and pop stores charge 180ea (275/55/20)installed. which is $720. NTB is claiming buy 2 get 2 free. but thats not the case when they add all the restrictions. Its almost false advertising. Many of us do not need a alignment. Why should we pay for one?

I just wouldnt call their ad a "good deal". Ive shopped around and found lots of different brand/style tires in the same price range. so all im saying is that its not truly buy2 get 2.
