Quick Stop Tires is a discount tire retailer on the south side of Oklahoma City that sells used, takeoff, and budget new tires, with basic rotation and repair services on-site. It operates as a low-cost entry point for drivers needing affordable rubber rather than a full-service shop or premium brand destination.
Quick Stop Tires functions primarily as a used and budget tire outlet rather than a premium retailer. The shop stocks takeoff tires (removed from vehicles during upgrades or trades), used tires in various conditions, and new budget-line inventory from manufacturers like Westlake and Radial. Most customers arrive when replacement cost is the primary concern, not brand loyalty or advanced tire technology. The operation is smaller and faster-moving than a Firestone or Les Schwab location, without the diagnostic equipment or waiting lounge of a full service center.
Quick Stop carries primarily used takeoff tires and budget new options. Used tires typically range from $20 to $50 per tire depending on tread depth and condition; new budget tires start around $40 per tire for economy sedans and climb to $80 to $100 for larger SUV or truck sizes. A used all-season takeoff in serviceable condition costs less than a third of a comparable new tire elsewhere. Inventory turns constantly because stock depends on what trades in locally, so specific brands and sizes are not guaranteed; calling ahead before a visit ensures the shop has what you need. The shop does not stock performance, all-terrain, or specialty lines.
Quick Stop provides tire mounting and balancing, typically $15 to $20 per tire. Tire rotation runs $30 to $40 for four tires. Repairs for punctures or slow leaks cost $10 to $20 per tire. The shop does not offer alignment, suspension work, or complicated diagnostics. For straightforward tire swaps and rotations on a tight budget, this is practical; for alignment or suspension concerns, you'll need to go elsewhere.
Costco Tire Center on W Memorial Drive offers new tires from mainstream brands (Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone) with membership, starting around $60 per tire for economy models. Costco's prices beat Quick Stop on new tires, but you cannot buy used inventory there, and Costco requires a membership. For drivers with no budget for new tires at all, Quick Stop is the only realistic choice.
Firestone on NW 23rd Street stocks new tires across price tiers and provides full-service diagnostics, alignment, and suspension work. Firestone tires start higher ($70 to $120 depending on model), but you get brand selection and comprehensive service under one roof. Choose Firestone if you need alignment or suspect suspension issues; choose Quick Stop if you need a cheap tire today and are willing to accept used or no-name new stock.
Discount Tire locations in the metro area (Edmond, Norman) sit between the two. They carry new budget and mid-tier tires without the premium pricing of Firestone, but do not stock used inventory. Quick Stop undercuts them on total out-of-pocket cost for basic replacement.
Quick Stop works for drivers with tight budgets, older vehicles where tire cost matters more than longevity, or someone needing a quick tire swap before a long trip. It also suits those willing to accept used inventory in exchange for lowest possible price. The shop does not suit drivers seeking specific tire models, advanced features (run-flat, three-season vs. winter compounds), or a comfortable waiting area. If you have concerns about ride quality, fuel economy, or all-weather traction, buy new tires from a retailer with matching technology options.
Walk in or call with your vehicle's tire size (found on the driver's door jamb or current tire sidewall) and ask what used or new stock they have. If they have your size in stock, you can schedule mounting the same day or wait if the shop is not busy. Bring your vehicle at the appointed time; mounting and balancing take 30 to 45 minutes depending on how busy the shop is. Payment is cash or card; no membership or appointment is required, though calling ahead reduces wait time.
Quick Stop Tires operates Monday through Saturday; hours typically run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., though these shift seasonally. The shop has street parking and a small lot. Call before visiting to confirm current hours and inventory.
Quick Stop Tires fills a specific role in Oklahoma City's automotive landscape: it is the lowest-cost tire option when new retail is out of reach, and it moves vehicles through fast. For price-conscious drivers in older cars, it remains worth the trip.
