Bob's Discount Tire

Quick turnaround on tires? Bob’s Discount Tire handles it without the downtown markup. The shop sits along Grand Concourse in the Bronx, not far from the 167th Street retail strip, so you can pop in mid-commute or on the way home. Battery replacements and brake jobs sit alongside the usual rotation work, giving one place for most of the car’s rolling and stopping parts.

You’ll find it at 700 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10451, right where the elevated tracks thin out before the Cross Bronx Expressway on-ramp. Whether you need a set of all-seasons or a pair of winter studs, they’ll mount them while you wait. They also service four-wheel alignments and suspension inspections, which can smooth out that wobble you’ve been ignoring.

Give them a ring before you swing by—(718) 483-8411—and they’ll let you know if they have your size in stock. Afterward, grab a plate of mofongo two blocks south or walk the quiet stretch of Macombs Road. Either way, the trip keeps you off the Major Deegan when traffic gets thick.
