South Bay: Tire Shop Recs

[BlaineWasHere]

Hey Friends,

recommend your fav places to buy and/or get tires mounted.

Thanks!!!!

Check out Tire Outlet on Alum Rock. Joseph one of the managers there used to hook me up on wheels and tires, and even installed exhaust on my lexus. That was back in my ClubLexus days...

Had some good experiences with Auto Innovations in Milpitas. They were even able to mount gravel rally spec tires for a friend (very tough and stiff side wall, very few places can do it).

oh yeah, +1 on AI as well. Back when Falken Azenis and Toyo T1S were the definitive autox street tire, that was where I was getting mine. I recall they also were very cheap for just tire mounting.

They actually did my coil install/alignment. Didn't know they did tires too. I'll hit them up tomorrow.

I need new tame summers for my grids and I need my RS-3s off my grids and on my new ORANGE RPF1!!!!

Auto Innovations is a no brainer. Awesome people, awesome prices.

They recently got a set of Federal 595 RSRs for me for cheaper than any other place, and included installation. Can't wait to get those on, as mine are currently pancake bald.

Good deal. Can't believe I didn't think of them considering I've worked with them before! I'll just buy tires from them too as I don't really care what they are just for DDing.

Thanks guys!

Tirerack. They had a cheaper shipped price on 17x9 et45 than any of the vendors on here!!!

(They also stock 17x9 5x100 et45) so that might have something to do with it.

How much did they quote you for mounting and balancing? do they do tpms tranfer too?

Not exactly the south bay, but I will mention that Joey does tire installs for very cheap. If you are getting other car work done, its convenient. You can drop shop tire rack to his shop, and hand over a few dollars to get the job done right.

I'm not sure what the exact mount/balance price is because I bought a set of tires and they are doing two mounting and balancing for me because I am moving the tires from the Grids over to the RPF1s and putting new tires on the grids. Price seemed fair on all that though. I'm sure they can do the TMPS transfer.

Call over there and ask for Orlando, but he'll prob pick up the phone anyway.

Just gave them a call. So far they have the best quote for me with all the services, the price sounds right. Thanks. I might get an appointment by monday. Ordered my tires online and shipped to my front door.
