Excellent experience! High quality Sottozero Pirelli winter tires delivered to my door. I was very impressed with the price of the tires. Will be purchasing my next set of tires from PMC

Great experience! Ordered a package mounted and balanced with new tpms sensors. Sensors synched right away. Few minor defects on the back of the wheel noted when I unpackaged them. Sent an email to customer service. They were responsive and easy to reach a reasonable solution.

Ordered 18" Fuel Vapours with 285 70r18 Toyo AT3's on a Friday. They were at my door the following Friday assembled and balanced. I had em installed that afternoon and had them in the mud while hunting the next morning. 100% would purchase from PMC again.

Best customer service in the game, hands down! After a manufacture would refuse to provide me with warranty support, PMCTire stepped in and gave me a discount on a new set of tires when they were not obligated to in any way. Highly recommend them! Every single time I need tires moving forward, I will purchase them from PMCTire.
