Castle Pines North residents now have a new choice when shopping for tires. Discount Tire, a national chain that specializes in tire sales and service, is now open for business in the old Great American Tire Company location at 7520 Village Square Drive, next to the Shell gas station.

“This is a wonderful neighborhood, and we want everyone to know we’re here and we’re eager to have their business,” said Store Manager John Beaman.

Discount Tire focuses exclusively on tires and wheels; the store offers tire sales, rotation and balances. Air pressure checks are always free. It works closely with Brakes Plus locations in the area when other services, such as alignments, are needed. Discount Tire will also honor service agreements (on tires only) which were purchased by customers from Great American.

“We accept appointments, but they are not required” said Beaman, “We can usually get customers’ work done in 30 to 45 minutes.”

Discount Tire, Inc., is America’s largest tire dealer, with 33 locations in the Denver Metro area. The store offers national brands, as well as its own house brand, made by the Kelly Springfield Company.
