PDX tire shop recommendations? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've just bought some new tires for the summer and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on where to get them changed out in the Tigard/Portland area.

..or should I not worry and just let the jokers at Les Schwab do it?

I always use Garth at AnT Tire/Trackside Motorsports. He is a true enthusiast and always gives me a good deal and the straight story. He is on Interstate Avenue in Kenton, just north of Lombard, not far south of PIR.

I'd go to Ely out in Hillsboro. He works out of his garage and always does great work. Only $10 mounted and balanced! Most drifters in the Portland area know who he is.

Haha... is Eli still selling tires out of his garage!?! Geez... I haven't heard anything about that guy for years! Last time I got tires from him was like 2003 or so.

How would I go about finding this reclusive tire guru?

Any issues there with removing TPMS sensors? I don't really need a set in my track wheels.

I can't say for sure (only taken him aftermarket wheels without TPMS) but will ask when I talk to him later this week and post up here.

His phone number is 503.516.3516. Just give him a call and say you heard about his work from Levi, he'll let you know when he is available. Super chill guy and does great work, I've been going to him for years.

Yeah I think so. He lives pretty close to the Hillsboro airport as well
