Tirebuyer Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect (and what to watch out for) at Tirebuyer’s upcoming Black Friday Sale 2025. We’ve looked at past deals, current promotions, and patterns to sketch out what might happen. Of course nothing is certain until the sale goes live but this should help you plan.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

The Tirebuyer Black Friday 2025 sale is expected to begin on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, two days before Thanksgiving, directly at tirebuyer.com. The event should run through Sunday, November 30, 2025, covering the full holiday weekend. Cyber Monday kicks off immediately afterwards, likely with some of the same deals carrying over.

What Types of Discounts to Expect

Tirebuyer’s Black Friday promotions generally focus on rebates offered through manufacturers (similar to Tire Rack). These are usually applied when a customer purchases a full set of four tires from specific brands. Rebates in past years have ranged from $50 to $100, with the highest values attached to premium or higher‑priced models. Discounts can vary based on tire family, model, and size. In addition to rebates, Tirebuyer has often provided free shipping to installers, though shipping directly to home addresses may not always qualify for promotions.

Examples from Last Year’s Sale

Looking at 2024’s event gives a good sense of the patterns to expect:

  • Michelin: Up to $60 back on purchases of four or more passenger or light truck tires.
  • Pirelli: Up to $100 back on Scorpion or WeatherActive tires.
  • BF Goodrich: Up to $60 back on passenger, light truck, or UTV tires totaling $900 or more.
  • Uniroyal: Up to $100 back on Laredo family tires and $50 back on other models.

These offers were rebate‑based, requiring proof of purchase and in some cases installation, submitted by a deadline after the promotion ended. The same rebate structure is expected in 2025.

Tire Rack Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

3 Comments

Based on what we’ve seen in the past several years, here’s a full breakdown of what Tire Rack’s Black Friday 2025 event will likely look like, when the sales will run, what kinds of rebates are worth watching, how deep the discounts usually go, and some concrete examples from last year that give us a pretty good idea of what to expect.

How Tire Rack Approaches Black Friday

Unlike a big box store, Tire Rack doesn’t flip a switch and put everything on sale for a weekend. Their model is built around partnerships with manufacturers like Michelin, Continental, Goodyear, and Pirelli. That means the real savings show up through mail-in or online rebates that are valid for a few weeks at a time. These rebates usually start popping up in the second half of November, then overlap with Thanksgiving week and Cyber Monday. You can find all of their current rebates and offers at tirerack.com/specialoffers/specialoffers.jsp .

So if you’re expecting a banner on the homepage screaming “50 percent off all tires,” that’s not how Tire Rack operates. What you’ll find instead is a lineup of rebate programs that vary by brand, by model, and sometimes by tire category. It’s a little less flashy, but the savings can still add up to hundreds of dollars if you’re buying a full set.

Likely Sale Dates in 2025

The timing is one of the most consistent parts of Tire Rack’s approach. Rebates tend to begin anywhere between November 1 to November 15. They then carry into Thanksgiving week, sometimes stretching into early December. The peak of the offers usually aligns with Black Friday weekend itself, but you don’t necessarily need to wait until that exact day to buy.

This timing is intentional. Tire manufacturers want to capture shoppers before and during the holiday shopping rush. By starting mid-November, they can catch people who don’t want to wait until Black Friday but still expect a deal. For 2025, the calendar lines up the same way. Thanksgiving falls on November 27, 2025, so the most likely window to see rebates go live will be from around November 14 through December 2, 2025 (a day after Cyber Monday).

Examples from Last Year

Here are actual deals from previous Black Friday / holiday rebate cycles at Tire Rack to give you a sense of concrete offers:

  • Michelin: “Up to $60 back” on sets of 4 vs a certain threshold. (e.g. $40 back if under some price, more back if above).

  • Continental: “Up to $200 rebate” on select sets of 4.

  • Cooper: Up to around $100 back on four-tire sets.

  • Hankook / Laufenn: Up to $120 rebate.

  • Goodyear: Ranges up to $200 back depending on model and bonus offers.

  • Pirelli: Instant discount, for example $80 off on a set of 4 select tires.

  • Vredestein: Offers with gift card (e.g. $140) instead of direct cash back.

TJ Maxx Black Friday 2025 Sale – Don’t Expect It This Year

Black Friday 2025 — What to Expect

If you’re used to hunting for deals on Black Friday, you might wonder whether TJ Maxx is worth a stop this year. Unfortunately, TJ Maxx, like Ross and Marshalls, usually doesn’t run any real Black Friday sales. Shoppers looking for huge doorbusters or storewide discounts won’t find them here.

The main reason TJ Maxx skips Black Friday deals is simple. Everything in the store is already priced lower than regular retail. That means there’s no need to mark items down further. Unlike other retailers, they don’t offer extra coupons, big discounts, or special sales events on Black Friday. The prices you see are essentially as low as they get.

Small Perks Only

While you won’t find major discounts, TJ Maxx does sometimes offer small perks. In the past, they have given free shipping for online orders at tjmaxx.com on Black Friday. Occasionally, there’s a small gift for early shoppers. For example, in past years the first 300 customers got a free tote bag at checkout. It’s possible they’ll offer something similar in 2025, but it’s not guaranteed.

Store Hours

Even though there’s no big sale, TJ Maxx stores are typically open early on Black Friday for anyone who wants to browse. Opening times usually start at 7:00am and stores stay open until 11:00pm. This is a bit longer than their normal 9:30am to 9:30pm schedule. All locations remain closed on Thanksgiving to allow employees to spend time with their families. Exact hours may vary by location, and some might adjust based on local health guidelines.

Why It Matters

Shoppers might still ask employees about Black Friday deals, but the answer will always be the same. TJ Maxx doesn’t run sales on that day because it’s already a discount store. If you’re at the mall and curious, it’s worth stopping by to see what’s available, but don’t expect the traditional Black Friday frenzy.

In short, TJ Maxx focuses on everyday low prices rather than one-time sales events. That’s why Black Friday at TJ Maxx is more about convenience and browsing than scoring a special deal.
