Review of 1010Tires.com customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is 1010Tires.com registered on BBB?
1010Tires.com is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
2. I contacted technical support about this issue. Days later 1010Tires.com got back to me and confirmed that the 2017 Audi S3 was the same.
3. I went back to the website to build a winter tire package (alloy wheels and winter tires). There were zero hits. No options. So I contacted again through the live chat.
4. The person on live chat was unable to find anything, so he built me a custom package. That was helpful.
5. I inquired about free shipping, since this was advertised when I tried buying first. I was informed it was no longer available, and it could not be over-ridden. This frustrated me, since I tried to buy during the promotion, but was unable to due to 1010's own website!!! The fact free shipping was not honoured, was not good customer service in my opinion.
6. I finally got to adding parts manually to the cart and tried checking out, and it took me 3 different card types before payment was processed. Not for being declined, but random errors such as "this type of card is not accepted". I tried Interac online, then Visa Checkout, and finally it worked by Credit Card / MasterCard. My Interac wouldn't work, stating I need to use Visa Debit instead. I tried that, but the error was the the website does not accept that type of payment. It was a painful experience, just to pay.
Ultimately, the more frustrating part of this is that the website itself was the reason I could not buy sooner and take advantage of free shipping. So it ended up costing me an extra $108 for shipping, in no part due to myself. Very frustrating.
I've bought online through TireRack at least 5 times before, without any issues. I decided to try 1010Tires, to support a Canadian company, since pricing was comparable to TireRack. However, this buying experience has been painful enough, that I'll likely go back to TireRack for future purchases.
to find out at the time of pickup that the tires had a dot code of 1915
(manufactured in May 2015), meaning the tires are roughly two and a half
years old already.
I've purchased many winter tires in the past (latest was last year for my
SUV from 1010tires), and each time the tires received was either
manufactured earlier that same year, or late months in the year prior.
I've never received new tires that were already 2-1/2 years old. To put it
in perspective, the tires I purchased last year (Nov 2016) had a dot code
of 3016, meaning that the tires I just got order this year and installed
today are even older than tires I purchased last year!!
I'm quite disappointed now with this purchase and feel I did not receive
new tires as I had originally wanted.
I spoke with the 1010tires retail store that installed the tires and 1010Tires.com
said they couldn't do anything on their end as the tires came straight from
the warehouse and it was out of their control.
Everyone I talk to at 1010tires keeps talking about how "safe" the tires are, but it has little to do with that. Kumho provides a 72 month manufacture's warranty from the manufacturing date of the tire, meaning these tires have already lost 2.5 out of the 6 years even before they were installed.
Paying full price for the product and only receiving half of the promised warranty is silly. Due to the amount of driving during winter months, my winter tires receive minimal usage so I replace them based on time and not treadwear as there is always plenty of tread left. Receiving 2.5 year old tires just means I'm replacing them that much sooner.
Within 12 hours of buying from the 1010Tires.com website, Sophia (the name of the company's founder and CEO) emailed me to thank me for my order and say it should arrive at the local 1010Tire location within a few days. That's when I should have received a call to arrange an installation appointment.
When I didn't hear from them within four business days, I started calling their local store, which, according to their online order tracking report received my wheels. I called them at least 25 times throughout that and the following day, including especially when it opened at 9 am.
Unfortunately, I was ALWAYS greeted by a message saying "we are unable to answer the phone due to the high volume of callers." 1010Tires.com also failed to respond to my emails and online form message submission requesting an installation appointment.
When they failed to communicate with me, I got their attention by sharing my negative experience with their current and prospective clients via their Facebook page. It was only then that someome from their local tire store called me the next day, saying I should bring them my car the following morning. I did, and drove away with my new wheels installed.
My Christmas 2017 wish is that 1010Tires.com management will learn from this experience and always clearly set accurate customer expectations while demonstrating they care to meet all customer needs and treating us with respect.
I just wanted to take the opportunity, now that I have had the time to assess the performance and quality of my new rims and tyres (recently purchased from 10101tires.com) to write a few words of gratitude and express my thanks to the following individuals and for the following reasons:
Andy - Very savvy and incredibly attentive at understanding and handling the issues with my purchases. Definitely a team player and very articulate.
Steve - Very knowledgeable about your products and very transparent and competent in presenting the pros and cons to customers.
Stephan - Thoroughly reviewed the intricacies of my "troubled" order and competently navigated them to complete the process without getting overwhelmed.
"DS" (of British Columbia) - Consistent level of professionalism in attending to my order and the associated transactions.
Despite a few communication glitches and some technical issues with the order, I really appreciate how well you gentlemen presented yourselves as a single unified team and worked transparently, honestly, honourably and thoroughly with me to ensure I was properly and fairly treated.
I mentioned the adventure of issues I had to several of my work colleagues and how well the "1010tires.com" team had handled my situation; (we all are car enthusiasts and regularly go to lunch together). My appreciation and endorsement of the service (as your major differentiator from your competition) resulted in one of the fellows also making a 1010tires.com purchase based on my recommendation.
Thanks for your combined efforts! I am very happy with my tyres and rims as well!
Happy new year!

I told them I was returning them and I wanted what I paid for, brand new wheels and tires.
For a week after, I tried calling after work to find out the status but each day I was told nothings happened yet and that 1010Tires.com will call me. The last day I called the employee was quite rude and short. I have given up calling them.
At this point, it's been 3 weeks since I paid them and just over two weeks since I returned the wheels and tires. They have not contacted me or refunded my money!
Avoid this place if you want a smooth transaction as they don't seem to care about you once they have your money!!!
The service I received from Steve Genua at 1010Tires was top notch from my first call last Oct. 2017 to when I drove away smiling Feb 28/18. Steve has a great knowledge of tires/wheels and just as important, fitment. The new wheels had never been mounted on my vehicle, so 1010Tires thoroughly checked the fitment, to find a big problem. My worst nightmare, the wheels do not fit my car. The rear wheels can't be properly mounted on my car. Steve showed me exactly what the issue was with my new wheels, and presented me with solutions. I had 2 solutions, send the wheels back to the USA at a cost $500.00 to me, or have the wheels machined so 1010Tires.com will fit. Steve made contact with a machinist close by and explained the issue. The machinist machined my 4 wheels for a much lower cost than what the shipping cost was. The wheel manufacturer has re-imbursed me the machinist costs, since they have a fitment issue with these wheels that they assured me will fit my 30 year old stock vehicle, but they did not. Now my wheels/tires are installed on my vehicle and they look fantastic.
I want to say thank you very much to Steve & crew for finding and helping me overcome a big fitment issue. My safety and others were at risk if this issue was not caught. Thank you for being so thorough with the fitment check.
The service I received was superb, and I will be highly recommending 1010Tires.
Thank you very much, and all the best!

I then ordered tires for my Tacoma to be delivered to the retail outlet on SW marine in Vancouver. I needed to book a time to have them mounted and was about to do so when I decided to call the retailer to see if they had arrived. For three days I tried to call the retail outlet. No joke. Probably called 20 times each day. No answer, no voice mail, no help. Frustrating is an understatement. I finally called 1010.com. Sorry they said, they don't deal with the retailers but the shipment is on its way and they will let me know when they get there. Fast forward several weeks. No call from 1010 so I called the main switchboard again. Oh, sorry, only 3 of your tires arrived and we don't know where the other one is. At this point it had been about 4 weeks since my original order. Long story short, I had to order different tires, which took another 10 days to get to my house. The courier left 3 tires on my porch and said the third had to be signed for. Wait another 3 days until the tire can be picked up at the courier location (I work during the day, hard to pick something up when they are closed). Not an enjoyable process. I realize winter is busy, but the process was not simple. The retail outlet should hire someone to answer the phone at the very least.
Happy with the tires and rims but the service has a bit of room for improvement, including the lack of standard computer system between the call centre and the store locations. Also still a bit miffed that I had to spend two hours plus gas on an issue that was not my fault and was not offered any form of compensation, I.E. a couple seasons of free storage.
Had I been informed that my tires were here I'd have been really happy, as it only took about a week to get here. However, the refusal to resend the tires without charging me an extra $100 (original shipping was around $50) and the inconvenience of spending almost an entire week trying to figure out what should have taken 1 phone call to deal with is too much for me.
I got better tires for a similar price and will be taking my business elsewhere in the future.
When I initially contacted them about the tire package I wanted to purchase, the CSR advised me that the items were in stock and delivery would only take a couple of days. After placing my order, I followed up several days later and was advised that the items weren't in stock and would arrive in 1 1/2 weeks. I followed up after a 1 1/2 weeks and was told 1010Tires.com had arrived at their western warehouse, but needed several days to be balanced and shipped to my chosen installer.
I had to follow up with them again a week later after not hearing from them. They told me that it would be another week before it would be shipped out, and would take several days for delivery. My chosen installer is located less than 20 minutes away from their warehouse.
It took three and half weeks and constant follow ups to receive my order. They blamed the delays on the seasonal rush for winter tires. While the delays are understandable, they should have been up front about it to manage my expectations. Instead, they went for the immediate sale, and I was given hollow promises.
I did ask to be notified prior to delivery so that someone could be home to receive and sign for orders which never happened with any delivery. If you're not going to ensure requests are followed, don't ask for comments/instructions for shipment.
Overall, the product was as described and I'm happy about that. Customer service was excellent when I asked for assistance to help me track my order and figure out why I was getting broken up shipments on 4 different days... this was definitely an inconvenience because someone had to take time off to be there for when they were supposed to be delivered. Not very efficient or practical, not to mention costly to take time off work each time.
However I ordered a tire and wheel package and after receiving a confirmation I got another email saying the tires I wanted were discontinued and now only available at a higher price (same tire) and that I needed to pick another set of tires and let them know. I tried to talk to customer service to check if I could still get the tire at the discounted price I had on my order confirmation since 1010Tires.com were still in stock on the website (not like they were completely out of them) and I found it weird that the same tire was still available on the website but just more expensive (it was then explained that they used different sellers and the same tire could have different prices).
Absolutely no effort to make sure I was satisfied, very blasé "not my job" attitude, did not offer me other options, I had to go back and look for another set of tires. I am satisfied with the tires (however did have to pay more) and didn't cancel my order because I didn't want to go through the hassle of finding other wheels but I will not be using or recommending 1010tires again.
My complaint is the damage that was done to the enamel on the inside of my new alloys due to 1010 shop installing ang removing the wheels. Deep scratches all around the inside of my rims. All 4 of them. Exposing the aluminum to the winter elements. The rims were in perfect condition. I discovered the damage when i went to mount them for the winter months. I will have to touch up with enamel paint before mounting now.
Ya I know ,there my winters. , this is my first new vehicle I've owned in the 45 years of driving. Is this how 1010 treats all there installs ?
If you buy your bling from this outlet(1010) be sure to tell the manager to take care of the inner rims,when mounting. And check after if possible.
2. After leaving the dealership I looked at the invoice to find that all of the vehicle details were blank, and that the mileage at installation showed as 0 km (zero.) Falken advises that 1010Tires.com would not honour any warranty issues that might arise because of this. Response so far has been nothing but buck passing.
I got decent tires and wheels for a fair price, but their customer service leaves much to be desired. Customer service has been virtually non-existent with regard to these issues.
Also I was concerned about the bolts that were included with the tires/rims . 1010Tires.com looked very small and not all safe. Again I was told that is they way it is and I could return the bolts for a refund but I would have to pay the shipping because the operator deemed it to be a cosmetic issue, not safety issue. I used the original bolts, not the ones by 1010 tires and I will have to pay the $10-$15 return shipping.
I would not recommend 1010 tires and will probably not use 1010 tires.
The Cart:
- Resets like crazy (12 ish times);
- Somehow added a multiple of 4 tires to what I had;
- Non stop recommendations - without being able to go to the details page about the product without adding it to the cart;
- And extremely confusing selection for buying rims... Also, I was confused by wheels (non car savvy) - maybe specify both "wheels/rims".
However you are storing the data - it is being 'cleared' upon:
- Another tab (and somehow held in some cases? I.e. the 16x tires I had);
- Clicking the cart from another page (might play into the tab);
- And when I was trying to simply select rims.
I recommend better storage client side, or have a database to store and pull such information.
I would like to suggest a tire comparison tool that is easier to use. I want to be able to select a vehicle, select a range of prices for tires and then select the attributes in the tires that I need. It would be nice if I can compare several at the same time on the same screen
Also the amount of plastic and packaging on the tires was surprising. I don't think one needs to waste that much plastic on the tires. I spent almost an hour just unwrapping the tires which I think is unnecessary and a great cost savings opportunity for the company. Less wrapping equals less plastic which equals more revenue?
