Hmmm.... .  Never had a problem with Discount Tire.  I had tires on my
Prius that simply did not make the tread wear guarantee (ContiPro by
Continental) by a long shot.  Discount simply credited the correct amount
toward a new purchase, and I did not get Continental tires, but rather
Bridgestones.

Maybe a difference in particular shops.
