Affiliate Disclosure
Black Hills Tire Guide is an independent tire research and comparison publication. Some links on this website are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission when a reader makes a qualifying purchase through one of those links.
How Affiliate Links Work
Affiliate programs allow publishers like Black Hills Tire Guide to receive compensation when readers visit participating retailers through tracked links and complete qualifying purchases.
You use one of our guides, comparisons, calculators or product tools.
Some retailer buttons and links contain affiliate tracking information.
The purchase takes place directly with the independent retailer.
If the transaction qualifies, the retailer or affiliate network may compensate Black Hills Tire Guide.
Affiliate Links Do Not Add a Separate Fee From Us
Black Hills Tire Guide does not add an extra charge to a retailer’s checkout simply because you reached that retailer through one of our affiliate links.
Retailers control their own prices, taxes, shipping charges, installation fees, promotions and other transaction terms.
The retailer determines the selling price and may change it at any time.
Shipping, mounting, balancing and related services are determined separately by the retailer or installer.
Eligible commissions are generally paid to us by the affiliate network or retailer rather than added by us to your purchase.
Affiliate Compensation Does Not Automatically Determine Our Rankings
Our goal is to recommend tires based on the driver’s intended use, verifiable product information and relevant tire characteristics—not simply which retailer offers a commission.
We May Participate in Multiple Affiliate Programs
Black Hills Tire Guide may participate in affiliate programs operated by retailers, manufacturers or third-party affiliate networks.
Third-party networks may provide tracking technology, product data and commission reporting between publishers and retailers.
Individual tire or automotive retailers may compensate us for qualifying transactions originating from tracked links.
Advertisers, commission structures and available affiliate programs can change over time.
Some Product Information May Come From Authorized Retailer Feeds
Where available, Black Hills Tire Guide may use authorized affiliate product feeds or APIs to display current retailer information such as product names, product images, prices, availability and purchase links.
This helps reduce stale commercial information, but retailer data can still change between updates. The retailer’s website and checkout should be treated as the final source for current pricing, availability and transaction terms.
Prices may be supplied or refreshed through retailer or affiliate-network feeds.
Commercial product imagery may be supplied through approved advertiser resources.
Inventory status can change quickly and may differ by size, location or retailer.

Affiliate Links May Use Tracking Technology

Their handling of information is governed by their own policies and applicable law. For information about this website’s own privacy practices, review our Privacy Policy.

Does using an affiliate link cost me more?
Black Hills Tire Guide does not add a separate charge to your purchase for using an affiliate link. Retailers independently determine their prices, shipping charges, installation costs, taxes and other fees.
