Default Rotate and balance by discount tire or my Lexus dealer

Installed new set of BFG a TKO twos at discount tire on my 2015 LX 570 comes with free rotate and balance for as long as I own the car I get a free service for the next two years at my Lexus dealer which includes rotate and balance every 5000 miles which would you use? I’m leaning towards telling Lexus to keep their hands off my wheels and tires and just check the brake pad width and letting the rotate and balance be done at discount tire they did a great job installing and balancing the first time. Plus they’re the ones I need to go to if there was any warranty issues with the tires.

You've answered your own post. Discount does tires all day every day. Lexus will use the same fng for your tires that changes your oil...low man on the totem pole. I would suggest grabbing a torque and checking your lug nuts in a week or two.

I have used America's Tires (sister stores with Discount Tires)....... VERY GOOD SERVICE!!!

Also each and every time I had asked them to show me my brake pads after they take off the wheels......so I can see them. Some shops will do FREE checks and actually put a caliber and do a measurement on each corner.

I would go with America's Tires (Discount Tires) over Lexus dealership on tires ANY DAY.

BTW, if you go into Lexus dealership and ask for 5K, 10K, 15K, 20K, 25K, 30K, 35K, and etc. services.......you WILL GET CHARGED FOR EVERYTHING EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT or need it. Always cheaper to ask for specific item of service that is listed in the car owners manual per mileage on the vehicle.........
