Black Friday tire deals

[scottydl]

Anyone come across any good Black Friday tire deals online? Several of the popular tire sites have BF ads, but deals aren’t too dynamic (so far) and mimic tire rebates that are often available. i.e. $80 off set of 4, selected brands/models etc.

For me specifically I need ST trailer tires, which are harder to find bargains on. I wasn’t going to replace our fifth wheel tires until Spring since it’s just sitting all winter, but I could be convinced to buy 4-5 months early for the right price!

Size would of been helpful

Mine are 235/80R16, load range E and I’m thinking to upgrading them to F or G if reasonably priced. I’ve googled all sorts of products and retailers to see what’s available now, but so far not finding anything Black Friday related for trailer tires.

EDIT: well I *kinda* found some BF marked prices on Amazon when searching my tire size. (See screenshot.) Might be worth some more browsing.

I looked at Wirecutter's ( that's the NYT's fake product review affiliate) Black Friday online deals this morning ( w/ links mostly to Amazon) and didn't see one thing that you couldn't have likely bought for the same thing in July. When I was doing the seasonal gig thing at Sam's Clubs I would hire on in October or so, every year just before Thanksgiving they'd bring in about 25 employees at midnight and from a corporate printout they'd run off price increase tags for virtually every item in the club. Every 15-20 items or so would be a different color tag advertising a reduced price ( strategically placed so shoppers would focus on those and not notice they were being hosed on every other item in the club). In American shopper frenzy season, if an item cost $20.00 in October, but $30.00 on Thanksgiving day and $25.00 on Black Friday, you virtually stole it.

Appreciate the insider perspective! And that’s one reason I rarely ever buy new/retail. Although RV tires will be one exception. Luckily there are some good price tracking resources (like camelcamelcamel.com for Amazon) that can show the exact kinds of trends you described.
