Discount Tire's Falcon 900LX lands in Santa Barbara ahead of tire safety campaign

Discount Tire's Dassault Falcon 900LX, N1960H, was tracked flying from San Diego International Airport to Santa Barbara Municipal Airport on June 28, completing a 49-minute hop. The aircraft departed KSAN at 18:13 UTC and touched down at KSBA just before 19:03 UTC, reaching a maximum altitude of 10,000 feet.

If Discount Tire representatives were aboard, they would arrive the day before the company's National Tire Safety Week promotion kicks off. As announced by PRNewswire on June 16, Discount Tire will offer free tire safety checks at over 1,275 locations from June 29 to July 4, just ahead of the Independence Day travel rush. The timing would suggest a final round of regional coordination or store visits in California, where the chain operates under the America's Tire banner.

Recent flights show the aircraft moving through the West: it touched down in San Diego two days ago after a stint in Colorado, following an earlier departure from the company's Phoenix-area base at KSDL. The pattern hints at a pre-campaign tour of key Western markets, consistent with Discount Tire's push to promote tire safety and summer travel preparedness.
