Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers - no runaround. Can't find what you need? Ask us directly.

Ordering & Shipping

How does TireOrbit shipping work?

We drop-ship directly from authorized US distributors to your chosen local installer. Free shipping is included on every order - no minimum. Tires typically arrive at the shop in 2–4 business days.

Can I ship tires to my home?

We ship to partner installer locations only. This keeps your tires secure, avoids signature requirements, and means they're ready to mount the moment you arrive.

Do you ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or US territories?

Not yet. We currently serve the continental US (lower 48 states) only.

How do I track my order?

You'll receive a tracking email as soon as your order ships. You can also check status under My Account → Orders.

Installation & Installers

What is the $100 install credit?

Every tire price includes a $100 install credit — a built-in saving toward installation at the local shop you pick. It's already factored into the price you see, no coupon or code needed.

How do I pick an installer?

Enter your ZIP code at checkout. We show local shops near you sorted by distance. You can also browse any time on the Find Installers page.

Do I need to schedule an appointment?

That's between you and the shop. Most accept walk-ins, but calling ahead once your tires arrive is always a good idea.

What if the shop charges extra fees?

The $100 credit covers standard mount and balance. Any additional services are between you and the shop. If you have issues, contact us and we'll help sort it out.

Payments & Financing

What payment methods do you accept?

Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm (buy now, pay later), and Klarna. All processed via Stripe - your card data never touches our servers.

How does Affirm / Klarna work?

At checkout, choose Affirm or Klarna. Approval is instant and handled entirely by the BNPL provider - we never see your financial details. You pay them over 4 installments or longer plans; we ship the tires right away.

Is there a minimum order for financing?

Affirm and Klarna each set their own minimums (typically $50–$100). Eligibility is determined by the provider at checkout.

Returns

Can I return tires?

Yes - unmounted tires can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Once mounted, tires are not eligible for return (industry-wide standard). Contact support to initiate a return.

What if I received the wrong tires?

Contact us within 7 days of delivery. We'll arrange a pickup and reship the correct set at no charge.
