Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment?
No. Affordable Tire Co is walk-in only — no appointment, no scheduling. Drive in during business hours and we will get you taken care of.
Do you come to me if I have a flat?
Yes. We run mobile tire service within 60 miles of Knoxville, TN — including Maryville, Oak Ridge, Morristown, Farragut, Sevierville, Seymour, Athens, Powell, Crossville, Alcoa and Lenoir City. Call 865.525.2229 with your location and tire size and we will bring the tire to you.
How much does mobile tire service cost?
You pay for the tire plus a flat service call — there is no appointment fee and no after-the-fact surprise. We quote the whole number on the phone before we dispatch, so you know the total before we roll.
Can you repair a flat instead of replacing the tire?
Often, yes. A puncture in the tread area that has not been driven on flat can usually be patched or plugged. Sidewall damage, a cut near the shoulder, or a tire that has been run flat cannot be safely repaired and needs replacing — we will show you which one you have.
What days are you open?
363 days a year — Monday through Saturday 8am to 6pm, and Sunday 9am to 6pm. We close only on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
Do you sell used tires?
Yes. We stock quality-inspected used tires alongside new tires from all major brands. Every used tire is checked for tread depth, prior plugs, sidewall damage and age before it goes on a car.
How much do tires cost?
New and used tires start at $70. What you pay depends on the size and, for a used tire, how much tread is left — read the size off the sidewall over the phone and we will quote you before you drive over. Call 865.525.2229.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — our Easy Payment Program is 90 days same as cash, with $25 down and payments as low as $15 per week. Subject to approval. Call or ask in store for complete terms. Call 865.525.2229 and we will walk you through it before you commit to anything.
What tire brands do you carry?
We carry Michelin, Continental, Cooper Tires, Lexani, Ironman, Atlas, Blackhawk, Zenna and Vantage — premium, mid-range and budget lines side by side, so you can pick the tier that fits your budget. Call 865.525.2229 with your tire size and we will tell you what is in stock today.
How do I find my tire size?
It is printed on the tire sidewall — a string like 225/65R17 — and also on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb. Read that number to us at 865.525.2229 and we will check stock.
Do I have to be with the vehicle for mobile tire service?
Not necessarily. If the vehicle is accessible and you can tell us where the wheel lock key is, we can often handle it while you stay inside at home or at work. We will confirm what we need when you call.
Should I get an alignment with new tires?
It is the best time to do it. An out-of-spec alignment can scrub a brand new set down in a few thousand miles, and the alignment costs a fraction of replacing the tires you just bought.
My AC is blowing warm air — can you fix it?
Almost always. Most warm-air complaints are low refrigerant, and low refrigerant is usually a leak. We find and repair the leak first, then recharge the system so it stays cold instead of going warm again in a few weeks.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Where are you located?
113 Walker Springs Rd, Knoxville, TN 37923 — off Walker Springs Rd in West Knoxville, minutes from I-40.
Something wrong with your ride?
Drive in, or let us drive to you. Either way there is no appointment and no waiting list.
