The 24 shops on this page sell and fit tires in and around Waukegan, IL. Brands carried, warranties and installation charges come from each shop's own website; ratings and quotes come from public reviews.
Ask for the out-the-door number: tires, mounting, balancing, valve stems or TPMS service, disposal of the old set and tax. Road hazard coverage should appear as its own line, not folded in quietly. A cheap tire with expensive fitting is a normal trick.
Not automatically. Where the money shows up is wet braking and how long the tread lasts, which are exactly the places you do not want a surprise. Heavy wet miles, buy the tire. A light car doing short errands in fair weather does fine on a solid mid-tier set.
Most shops will fit them and charge a rate per wheel, often higher than if you had bought the tires there. Two things to settle first: whether they will handle a warranty claim on a tire they did not sell, which usually they will not, and whether the size you ordered is the size the car takes.
8 of the 24 shops sit in Waukegan itself; the rest are the nearest listed within 20 mi and are shown with their own city. The drive is sometimes the point, because stores stock what sells locally and an odd size may only be on a shelf one town over. Distances are straight-line.
