Tire mount and balance in Mult/Clack/Wash Counties? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Four_wheel_drifts · 04-28-2018, 01:57 PM

The amazing, independent tire mounting and balancing guy I've used for years just moved to South Carolina.

I need a replacement that's very good, cheap and available weekends and evenings. E.g. Cord a tire on the track on Saturday, I can get it replaced that night so I can run Sunday, etc.

Needs to be a shop/someone that won't look at my wear bar track tires and refuse to flip them.

I was paying $10 a tire for this, but might be dreaming going forward.

Anyone "got a guy?"

Idk if Garth at Trackside Motorsports is that cheap, but he's a shop in PDX that exists to support real track people. I'd suggest you reach out to him, go meet him in person at his shop. You'll figure out really quick that he's the real deal. Tires, alignments, etc - legit.

+1 For Garth at Trackside

+2 for Garth. Picking up my R-Comps from him this coming weekend at PIR.

Awesome guy to do business with and often shows up to support many local racing events at PIR, PR and The Ridge.

I've known Garth for over 20 years. I've of late just caught him at the wrong times. When I was an SCCA racer, he was great. Now that I'm just an instructor, not as much.

Same echo - ax/track alignment done right. Garth is legit.
