It looks as though Discount Tires will be building at the location just north of Arby's, close to the corner of SH152 and Mustang Rd. This is the vacant lot that previously was the municipal building.

There was also a previous rumor that Dairy Queen was going to be built there, but this seems to have never been the case or anything come of it.

Project is still probably 7 to 8 months out.

Hibdon?

No the store is called Discount Tire. It's a chain store so nothing special.

Big O's needs the competition. Wouldn't mind a Hibdons either. At the rate they are putting in neighborhoods around here there is a lot of rubber hitting the road.

Been a Sams club and dad's been a Hibdon guy for a long time, but just bought by newest tires from Discount and they're really great. Free tire maintenance on ALL of your vehicles (including friends and family, though I haven't tested that out yet) for life when you buy even one set from them. Saves me a drive to Westgate for tire stuff now.

It's all true. I've been a Discount Tire customer since the day they entered the OKC market. They are truly the best tire option in town. Period. They ONLY do wheels and tires. But, they do it better than anyone.

This x1,000.

Since they opened a location at Memorial/Macarthur I have been hooked on their quality/service/customer service. I buy/trade cars quite a few times throughout the year and also restore classic cars. I use to call around, and find someone who would offer the best deal, and head that way. But now, I don't even bother. I know Discount will take care of me. A lot of times, I'm looking for an odd ball size, or specialty tire...and they typically order it, and have it at the location within 48 hours. I cant see myself ever doing business anywhere other than Discount Tire.

Per the Mustang city manager report this will be a Hibdon Tires Plus. They are waiting on the city to grant a setback variance to begin construction.

+2. Was in Houston with my dad a few years ago. I hit a sharp curb and blew out a tire on his car. Since he'd bought them thru the Discount Tire on NW Hwy west of Council, they could look him up in their system. 3 hours later, we were ready to roll.

Discount is the only place I'll ever buy tires again. Service is way better than Hibdon. Prices are good. And they go the extra mile. For instance, last year I bought a set of wheels from Discount Tire online. When I took them to the local Discount Tire to be installed the manager said he could have beat the online price. He mounted and balanced them for free to make the cost the same for me as it would have been if he ordered them. He didn't have to do that. But it solidified my loyalty if that was his intention.

I also take most of the facility vehicle's flats in for repair. At Hibdon I would wait for hours sometimes. At Discount they work the repair in with the tires being changed instead of just putting it in the back of the line.

Well I had an experience at Discount tire , that was less than lack luster.took my daughters Honda Civic down for a new set of tires (Moore location) in the process of reinstalling the lug nuts the tech twisted off one of the studs. Okay no problem let's fix it, well it's not that easy, because they only install tires, period. They had to call a tow truck and take my car to Hibdons to have the stud replaced ,this was a Saturday so what was suppose to take 45 mins turned into about an 6 hour ordeal. They would not let me drive the car away it really put a bad taste in my mouth. I think I'll pay a little more and use a full service place on the next go around.

Did they cover the cost of the stud replacement?

Did they cover the cost of the stud replacement?
They did, but the whole thing was a huge hassle , I didn't ask for any extra discount, nor did they offer which in my opinion would have been the right thing to do... I'm just not the type to make a big stink. But had I known their policy of not being able to work on the car, I would have went somewhere else to begin with.

I only buy from Discount Tire. I used to be a Hibdon's customer before they sold out years ago.

They'll match any price and their service is usually very fast. I don't like full service places because it often takes longer to get in and out because of other customers with other needs.

I've had several tires replaced by Discount Tire (free under warranty) without any hassle at all.

Over the years have I ever had a less than stellar experience? Sure. But they always make it right.

A few months ago I replaced all four tires on one of our cars. I literally had to go back three times in 24hrs after getting the tires on; Pressure sensor broken during instal, a balancing weight installed wrong (on the outside of the rim) and something else. They ended up basically giving me all four new tires for FREE for the hassle.

I also really like the fact the have so many locations. Makes tire fixes and rotating a breeze.

Same here. While it's worth mentioning they do price match, I tried PM'ing vs tire rack and having them shipped a few years ago and all of these hidden charges started coming up.

another thumbs up here. Never really price shopped em but service is excellent. Have their tires on 3 cars and always top notch experience

I beat Discount Tires price by over $9 a tire by ordering from Tire Rack, paying for shpg and the mount & balance at Walmart.

Sorry, but I wouldn't risk any of my vehicles in a Walmart service bay just to save $9 a tire. I always give Discount Tire an online price, plus installation and they always match or beat it - and I leave with tires that day. Not to mention the satisfaction of knowing I can get a tire, warranty replaced at locations all over the country anytime.

When I'm spending $200+ per tire I want a brick and mortar store I can walk into if I have an issue.

Its the Wife car and I feel she'll be more in her comfort zone dealing with an easy to locate walmart store than a tire store that's only in major cities. Simple as that. (My Wife is Korean) FWIW I used to be a tire salesman as asst mgr at Otasco. I'm familiar with the local WM and am confident in their ability to do good work.

To each their own, but for me, beyond the hassle of ordering your tires and then having a 3rd party install them, you also have the hassle of being 'reimbursed' if you have to enforce the warranty for repairs or replacement.

I've had to use my Discount tire warranty for everything from simple nail repairs to completely blown tires - and most recently, tires that wore down too fast. Just pull in, they fix it and you leave. No reimbursement necessary.

I know several people who use tire rack. I just never really understood the reasoning if a local brick and mortar will sell you the same tire that day and install it as long as you bring the price difference to their attention. In fact, when I buy my more expensive tires they often give me the best warranty for free.

discount tire doesn't stock these run flat tires we use on the Wifes car so ordering them would also have been required had I bought from them.
Personally I don't buy from chains when other equal options are available. I'd recommend Freddies Discount Tires or Express Tire & Wheel, both on W. Reno where I had a tire replaced on the motorhome would at the top of my list.

Very pleased with Discount Tire. I put some new tires on before my drive to Portland. Was hesitant about purchasing the warranty. I'm glad I did. Not a month in Portland and some road debris destroyed one of my tires. I pumped enough air in to get myself a mile down the road to the nearest location. Showed my warranty, walked across the street to Burger King. I wasn't more than halfway through my burger when they called to tell me I was all buttoned up and ready to go. I was thinking it would be a 1 hour event. It was done in 15-- had I known it would be that quick I wouldn't have even went to the burger shop.

Count me as another satisfied customer of DT. I used to patronize HIBDONS as well prior to FIRESTONE buying the name. Totally endorse the brick and mortar concept of purchasing tires from a local outlet as well as buying from the source of the warranty.

LOL! I think it's funny how some of you like DT now but I'm pretty sure you'll be dissing DT like you do Walmart one of these days after they run off the little guys. Just seems hypocritical or plain naive IMO. YMMV so if that doesn't apply to you don't get all riled up.

That makes no sense.

FYI - Love WalMart (for the purpose it serves). Shop there a few times a week. I like their selection, prices and convenience. That said, I'd never let one of their employees touch any of my vehicles.... EVER!

I've let wally folk install a battery here and there. That's about the extent of it.

Even when I buy new tries, I go through the guys at Tire Stop here in Norman. Small shop, nice folk.

I've used Discount Tires for years. They have good prices and will rotate and warranty tires.

The paper is reporting this as a Hibdon Tire's Plus. Not sure if the deal changed and the Discount deal fell through.

I love Discount Tires because of how they have treated me. They are very competitive with their prices and have been extraordinary in their customer service. They have actually "down sold" me before and got me great tires at better prices than the ones I came in to buy. And, for example, last week I hit a chug hole in Dallas an ruined a tire and bent a wheel. I had to buy a tire there and get a temp wheel. After fixing the wheel here, DT changed the tires to my fixed wheel, re-balanced, etc. and never charged me. They never charge to check the wheels/tires, to balance, etc. Best tire service I have gotten in my nearly half a century of driving.
So, I am pretty sure that they are way different than Wal Mart in so many ways, just based on customer service. If and when that ends, I guess I will diss them, but only when they deserve it. I have dissed WalMart because of their below average (or non-existant) customer service....and not just in car care. DT is in a different league.

I'm just saying that low quality service starts when the big chains run the small ones out of town. Cause and effect. Ya'all don't cry about Main Street dying if you were part of the reason it died.

Same. It's weird to have an undying loyalty to a tire shop but DT is just fantastic with an absolutely brilliant business model.

They fix flats for free and are happy to do it. Even if you've never bought a thing from DT. I have bought my last 5 sets from them. Competitive prices, warranties, great service, and nation wide.

Get a blow out in Dallas? Put the spare on, drive to the nearest DT they'll look up your account and put a brand new matching tire on for you. I love Mom and Pop but for as much as I'm on the road that's just an essential feature.

I support mom and pop when they are better, or even the same, but sometimes they just can't deliver the same support, even if they want to. Driving constantly to multiple cities, I can't tell you the number of times I've been bailed out. And, try as they may, mom and pop can't be everywhere I need them to be. There are just some businesses where scale and multiple locations is a decided advantage. All tire stores are selling a commodity, so there is little other way to differentiate than service and location. With driving and the unpredictability of problems, multiple locations is a critical differentiator.

I like Discount Tire as well. I've purchased three sets of tires from them now for various vehicles and I've always gotten top-notch service. They do a very good job and since they don't do anything besides tire and wheels, you don't get the pushiness of them selling other services like they do at Hibdon. FWIW, I used to install and sell tires, shocks, brakes, etc. for Big-O way back in my younger days.

FWIW, I used to install and sell tires, shocks, brakes, etc. for Big-O way back in my younger days.Then you might like this story. I bought a set of Big-O tires way back for my CJ-7. I worked for the Fairgrounds Speedway on the Safety Crew at the time. I ran over a wrecked race car part and shredded a tire. I told the manager the truth about what happened to the tire. He said "Nope, you hit something in the road on the way to work right?. What could I do but agree?

I picture the manager nodding his head up and down as he's telling you this. :)

The owner of the shop I worked at used to race at the fairgrounds. Fun guy to work for, but I had a supervisor who made working there miserable. He basically told me to sell stuff (usually shocks) to people who didn't need it. I still remember him instructing me - "Every car that comes in this bay needs shocks, whether they need them or not."

Finally breaking ground on Hibdon Tires

So I guess this means that Discount Tire will soon open shop next door.

No, when I first made the thread Discount was in negotiations but those fell through and Hibdon ended up purchasing.

I know I just meant that always seems to be the case. Kind of like Walgreens and CVS always open next to each other.

Looks like it will be opening around November 18th.

Personally I think the location is horrible. The building sticks out like a sore thumb.
I mean, Mustang never had I would call a scenic vista but this monolithic structure doubles down on 'in your face and ugly'. It's a long building crammed into a small space. Makes you wonder what they were thinking.

Yeah I kind of thought from the git go it was pretty large, especially compared to BIgO.

The city dropped the ball for sure.
