What people rent to own

Stores carry different brands and sizes. These are the sets people ask for most.

How it works

How tire rent-to-own works

It is a lease with an option to own. The store fits the tires to your vehicle at the shop.

01 The store sets the numbers What you pay each time, how many times you pay, and the Total cost at the end. No credit check at most stores.
02 Mounted and balanced Most stores include mounting, balancing, valve stems, and disposal of your old tires. Bring your tire size or your vehicle.
03 Own them, or return them Reach the end of the agreement and the tires are yours. Return them instead and the schedule stops, with nothing more owed.
The spread

Same tire. Same size. A different Total cost from every store.

The same tire in the same size can carry a different Total cost at each store. Ask each one for all three figures, and write them down before you decide.

What to ask every store for
The scheduled amount How much, and whether it runs weekly or monthly.
How many are scheduled The full count, not just how long it feels.
Total cost The two multiplied together. The number that tells you the truth.

If a store will not put all three in writing, that is your answer. Ask again, or ask the next one.

Ask before you sign

Tires are a safety purchase you drive on every day. These are the questions worth asking while you are still deciding.

Are mounting, balancing, and disposal included? Is road hazard protection part of the agreement? Is an alignment included, or billed separately? Do you have my tire size in stock today? What does it cost to buy them out early, and by when? What happens if a tire is damaged during the lease?

Renting tires, answered plainly

Most stores do not run a traditional credit check. You will usually need a photo ID, proof of income, and proof of where you live. Ask the store what it asks for before you go.
Yes. Most include mounting, balancing, valve stems, and disposal of your old tires in the agreement. Some also include an alignment. Confirm what is covered before you sign.
Yes. Many rent-to-own tire stores offer custom wheels and rims as well as standard tires. Wheel packages usually carry higher payments and can run longer. Some stores price a tire-and-wheel package for less than leasing each on its own, so ask for both quotes.
Some agreements include road hazard protection, which covers damage from potholes, nails, or road debris during normal driving. If yours does, the store repairs or replaces the tire. Ask about it before you sign.

No. Rent-to-own tires is a lease with an option to own, and you can return the tires to end the agreement instead of continuing payments. Tire financing is usually a credit-based loan. Compare the Total cost, the credit requirements, and the return options before you choose.
Often, yes. Stores that approve on income and identity can usually mount tires the same day, as long as your size is in stock. Call ahead to check.
Yes. By the end you pay more than the cash price. That is the tradeoff for driving away without credit and being able to hand the tires back. The Total cost shows you exactly how much more before you sign.
