How does Toyota's Buy 3 Get 1 work?

I started seeing ads for this sale through Toyota but every time I click on it I end up with warranty sales. Is it legit? Is it just whatever came stock or do you get better options?

 

It's whatever tire they stock. Legit deal. I did the Toyos last fall and used the savings to cover alignment.

 

I checked on that a while ago and the pricing on the other 3 tires was more than if you just bought 4 at a local tire place. I also want to say it was only what they had in stock and they wouldn't order what I wanted, though it's been long enough ago that I can't specifically recall that.

I have no idea why anyone uses a dealer, or even a big name retailer, for tires. Most local shops can get you what you want in a day and if they also sell used tires they generally will trade you in for your existing tires, especially if you are doing tires on a brand new truck and your OEM tires have like 500 miles on them.

 

Thanks guys. Tires are a want, not a need just yet. Thought I could justify it at 4 for 3, but it pissed me off I couldnt just click to see the inventory at any of the 3 here in town. And I wouldnt pay $x for 4 of my 3rd or 4th choice at their markup when I could pay the same for my 1st choice elsewhere.
