Need tires, whos the easiest to get approved by ?

I have to drop the hammer and replace all the tires on my SUV. Pricing them out all over the place its about $1000.00. I was thinking Discount Tire, Big O Tires, Sears, Firestone...... one of the major ones I can get a card then pay it off in 6 months with no interest. I just dont want to drop the cash right now because were moving in a couple months plus I didnt want to max out my Amazon card.

 

Any info would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

John

 

ps: my credit scores listed in my sig.

Paypal Credit. Buy 'em off eBay; many chain stores have accounts and sell at equal or lesser prices on there. Hidden tradeline so it won't affect utilization, and 6 or 12 month financing depending on purchase price (12 months for 1k+, I think). Hell, I bought a $959 Rheem Marathon hot water heater on short notice through Home Depot using that to avoid utilization being badgered. Worked great!

 

I buy a lot of my car parts and supplies off eBay. Mostly because that's the only place I can find them...Nixon will remember why. Heh.

I second the Wally card.  Tire and auto is one of the few reasons to carry one.  With your score you should be able to get enough to cover new tires.  And for convenience and time savings Wally's is usually just around the corner.

Thank you to all that responded. I have had a business and ppersonal Paypal account since 99 so I might just hit them up. I know it may not matter since credit is bank or lender based and not really Paypal eBay based but its worth a shot.

If that's your TU score you should get Firestone approval. They even have recon. I read about folks with less scores than yours get approval.
