I only bought one tire to be used (or not used) as a spare on my Mercury Marauder. I've purchased tires from PMC in the past and have been pleased with the prices and the free shipping when I buy four tires. Needing new Bridgestone Blizzaks for my Honda Accord in the fall.

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.

I had bought the NEW bridgestone WS80 tires and rims they were delivered very quickly. Unfortunately the offset for my Audi S6 2019 was not the same as the rims so they would not work. When I connected with CSR he was quick to resolve the problem that day and RUSHED new rims to me free of charge. Then PMC reimbursed me the full amount for remount and balanced. What a great company to deal with and they have my business for many years to come. Thank you, PMC for a great product and experience.
