Deal Challenge: Mountable Tire Storage System

Dec 7, 2009 8:23 PM

My boyfriend's parents purchased a tire storage system that gets snow tires off the floor of the garage in the summer and summer tires out of the way in the winter. My parents have storage above the garage, but my house doesn't have that option, so I liked idea of the one my bf's 'rents purchased.

The one they got was from TireRack
<< http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/detail.jsp?ID=61 >>

IMHO, $129 is a little outrageous for something so simple. Does anyone know where I can find something similar at a more reasonable price-point?

the link isn't working because of the way they link their pages.
from www.tirerack.com search "Tire Storage Rack"

it's the top hit, $129.00

I thought I found a "better" link but that didn't work either. Disregard this post.

@perkalicious11: just googled it.....and believe it or not that is seems to be cheap.....unless I am just not good at googling stuff...which will be bad. I saw one for 70, but it was alum...i wouldn't store my tires on it.

I'm not sure how the price stacks up, but I do know that the Tire Rack gouges customers on shipping charges. Say you order a set of four rims+tires pre-mounted from them. They'll charge you for a total of eight packages - four tires, four rims, even though there's only a total of four packages shipped.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
