How Rent to Own Tires Makes Great Off-Road Tires Affordable

Have you ever seen those commercials for Dodge trucks? Where the pick-ups and SUVs are just gliding seamlessly over beautiful dunes, rocky canyons, and river rapids? It makes them look super sick, right?

Everytime those commercials come on, all we want to do is get our hands on some off-road wheels and tear up some dirt. The thing is, wheels can be super expensive. And off-road wheels are especially pricey in comparison to a typical roader.

Well, enthusiasts rejoice, because there’s a new option in town. Rent to own plans can now make your wildest tire dreams become a full-fledged reality. Let’s look at how rent to own tires can make your favorite off-road wheels easily affordable.

What Makes Off-Road Tires So Expensive?

They’re just big rubber donuts, so why in the world does each off-road tire cost hundreds of dollars? The price of any tire can be pretty frustrating, especially when you need some in a pinch. But there are good reasons as to why this is.

For one, high-quality and durable materials go into making every single tire that you can put on your vehicle. After all, they can literally mean the difference between life and death, so it’s important that they’re made with strong stuff to keep you safe.

Also, tires are carefully inspected and tested to ensure adequate performance and safety. During these tests, tires are x-rayed, cut apart, run on test wheels, or road-tested to evaluate their efficiency. 

Off-road tires specifically need to undergo extra tests that many run-of-the-mill tires may not. They need to test all-terrain wheels on different types of terrain to make sure that they’re functional and safe over every type of environment.

Lastly, many tires are imported from overseas, so you have to take shipping costs into consideration as well.

So knowing all of that, it makes sense that they cost so much money. Though that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Let’s look at how rent to own payment plans can fix that problem.

What Does Rent to Own Mean?

It sounds kind of counter-intuitive. After all, when you rent something, you don’t technically own it. But you’ve probably used a rent to own plan without even realizing.

Basically, when you rent to own, you’ll make small payments every now and then until you’ve paid off the item in full. So let’s say you drop your phone in the pool and need a new one fast. Dropping $800 in one payment is a hard pill to swallow. But paying $100 every month for eight months? That sounds much more feasible.

So when you rent to own tires, it works in pretty much the same way. We’ll give you the tires and you can ride around to your heart’s content while you continue to make payments based on your own financial interests. We’re flexible, so we’ll work with you to come up with a repayment plan that works.

How Can I Pay for Off-Road Tires?

At Rent A Wheel we understand that everyone’s financial situation is unique, so we’ve got a ton of different payment plans that can work for any situation. So if you’re looking to get yourself some new AMP Terrain Pros or maybe a Cooper Evolution M/T, we’ve got you covered.

120-Days Same-As-Cash Price Plan

It’s a bit of a mouthful, but this plan is super easy to swallow. With this option we’ll give you your set of tires and you pay us back within 120 days at the exact same cash price. No interest fees, just cash.

So let’s say you buy a tire set for $1100. If you choose this plan, you’ll have about four months to make flexible payments in order to match that cost -- not a cent above. 

Rent-To-Own Plan

When we say we’re flexible, we really mean it. With the rent to own plan, you have 78 weeks to pay off your tire’s balance. That’s nearly a year and a half! You can make payments starting as little as $14 a week on smaller tire models. That’s less than the cost of a t-shirt.

And if you pay off your entire balance in 120 days, we’ll cut 50% from your remaining balance. It’s further proof that we care about your wallet just as much as we care about giving you the highest quality off-road wheels in the game.

Buy it in Cash

Got a little extra money lying around? Or do you just want to pay off your rims right away so you don’t need to worry about it? Regardless of the reasons, you can definitely pay for your tires upfront. And at our low prices, this might be even more accessible than you think.

However You Want!

These aren’t set in stone, and we’ll work with you to come up with a plan that works. Want to make weekly payments? We can do that! Rather make a bi-weekly payment instead of a monthly fee? Works for us! Talk to one of our experts today and we can work with you to come up with a suitable option that will cause you the least amount of stress possible. After all, we need you trucking through the mud with clear conscience.

What Off-Road Tires Can I Rent to Own?

All of them! There are no caveats or exceptions. You can have access to every single one of our tire styles and utilize the same type of flexible repayment options.

For example, you can get these killer Nexen Roadian AT Pros for $509 for a set of four. That’s already pretty low, but you can make that even more manageable by making monthly payments starting at only $47 a month. 

After you get yourself a set of tires, why not pair them with some fresh sets of rims, too? Our wheels work the same exact way as the tires, so you can have access to the same rent to own opportunities.

How Do I Qualify for Rent to Own Tires?

Many rent to own programs require a credit check or social security number to base your payment plan off of your credit history. But we really don’t care too much about your past credit, so you can pre-qualify without even having a credit score.

If you have income, then you can use our flexible Rent to Own program to your advantage. All you need to do is fill out this online application to get pre-approved. Once you qualify, you’ll get a pre-approval certification that will start your process in-store. Just bring it to one of our 136 locations and an expert will work with you to find the best tires at an even better price.

I Got Pre-Approved, So Now What?

The hard part is done! All you need to do now is go to your nearest store and bring a few things with you:

• Proof of employment (paycheck stub)

• Proof of vehicle insurance

• Vehicle registration

• Driver’s license

• Proof of address (utility bill)

• Five references

After you get all of that together, you can work with one of our experts to find your perfect wheels and rims. 

The Lowdown

Any off-road enthusiast knows the importance of quality all-terrain tires. However, they also know how expensive they can be. While it makes sense given the amount of testing, high-quality materials, and import fees that go into making every single tire, it still hurts the bank account when it’s time for a new set.

The great thing is that rent to own tires make any tire affordable. With flexible payment plans, you can pay the same as cash price up to 120 days after purchasing, or use a rent to own contract that gives you up to 78 weeks to pay off your balance in full. It’s all about reducing your stress while enhancing your ride.

Have we mentioned we’re flexible? Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or upfront payments are all options. We’ll work with you to find a plan that works for you.

And we don’t even need a credit check to pre-qualify you for our program. Just fill out a quick online application and one of our store representatives will reach out to you for the next steps. 

Now that you know how easy, cheap, and effective rent to own programs are, you’re probably chomping at the bit to get your hands on some new off-road rims. Well, you’ve read this far already, so the least we can do is help get you started.
