Over the past 29 months, RNR Tires Express has opened a new location every month, and the first Tippecanoe County location will have a grand opening in September.

A soft opening started Monday.

Many products, services and payment options, such as custom wheels, alignments and a four-month “same as cash” payment plan will be offered at this new RNR location – 1500 Sagamore Pkwy. S.

“The importance of reliability and safety when it comes to car parts is second-to-none, especially for those raising families and those who depend on their vehicles on a daily basis,” Amy Kidd, marketing manager for RNR Tire Express in Lafayette, said in a statement.

“I can personally attest to the value of an affordable tire retailer in town, since back when I was a single mother with a limited income, back then I only replaced my tires when (they) blew out, and looking back, that was not safe. The owners, staff and I are elated to have the opportunity to provide these safe options to communities in Lafayette, Tippecanoe County and beyond.”

The new, 6,000-square-foot RNR Tire Express store will allow customers to choose from brand-name tires and budget-specific payment plans. In addition to new merchandise, customers will also have access to previously rented options. Upon purchase, customers will be offered free nitrogen, roadside assistance and lifetime tire rotation and balancing with their sale or rental.

The budget-specific payment plans for tires and wheels can be paid in weekly, bi-weekly or monthly installments, according to the release.

“At RNR, we emphasize serving each customer and listening intently to find out what they need,” Kidd said. “We make sure to take the time and effort to ensure every family who comes through our doors leaves with a safe set of tires without needing a credit check. With this location, we are excited to continue engaging with, and making a difference in the Lafayette community through charity events and tire giveaways.”
