How Does Tire Shipping Work?

Buying tires online is one thing. Getting them from checkout to your car is another. Here’s exactly how it works at Only Tires.

Free Shipping, No Minimums

Every order ships free to the lower 48 states. No handling fees, no minimum order, nothing tacked on at checkout. The price you see is the price you pay. Orders placed the same day are processed the same day, and most tires ship within 1–2 business days and arrive in 3–5 business days.

Two Ways to Receive Your Tires

At checkout, you’ll choose one of two delivery options: ship to a local installer, or ship to your home.

Ship to installer is the most popular route. You pick a certified shop near you, browse options by ZIP code, and book an appointment right during checkout. No phone calls, no hunting around for quotes. Your tires ship directly to the shop and arrive before your appointment. You just show up and drive away on new rubber.

Ship to home works well if you have your own mechanic or prefer to handle the install yourself. Tires come straight to your door, and you take them wherever you’d like.

18,000+ Installer Locations and What Installation Covers

Only Tires works with over 18,000 certified shops across all 48 contiguous states, including local independents, national chains, and mobile installers. Every listing shows distance, ratings, and upfront install pricing before you book. Installation is priced separately from the tires but shown upfront at checkout, so you know the full number before you confirm anything. Standard services typically cover mounting, balancing, valve stems, and disposal of your old tires.

Unused tires can be returned within 30 days. No questions, no hassle. Free shipping covers the lower 48. For Alaska or Hawaii orders, reach out to the Only Tires team, Monday through Friday 9AM to 5PM CST, Saturday 9AM to 3PM.
