Default Local tire shops? 03 Track

Hey regional people! Where do you people, people with 03 track OEM wheels, get your tires locally. I went to Mr. Tire and Sears Auto center and they don't carry front and rear matching sets. That’s and exaggeration, they carry Dunlop, too soft, and I think Falken that’s it! I don’t care for both brands. I found a few sets on Tire rack. I was looking at all season Bridgestones, Eagle F1’s or the Yokohamas. I’m sure you guys know the tire sizes are front 225/45r 18 and the rears are 245/45r 18. Anyways thanks. I would order from Tire rack and just have a local shop put them on but the people who work at Mr. Tire seem a little incompetent. They screwed my rims on my last car...I don’t want them to mess up my Rays!

I go to Mr. Tire for all my tire work... it all depends on which location you go to. The one in Vienna VA are a buncha enthusiasts! One dude has a turbo porsche, another w/ a cobra, some other dude w/ a history of FI cars. Just gotta chat em up and they'll take extra care of your rims.

Order from Tire Rack and install at PTuning if you want exactly what you want, and installed right.

1. Where are you? MD isn't that big but there are alot of shops

2. Did you ever think someone on here may work at MR. Tire? or a similar shop?

3. Mr. Tire sells Rays wheels, and I'm sure they are competent enough to mount and balance them for you.

I use No Limit Inc. in Baltimore for all my tire needs, they are experts in mounting odd sizes on top dollar cars and wheels.

410-426-RIMS

all tires any size/brand are usually a one day lead time at the very most (if not in stock)

Check out Radial Tire in Silver Spring. I have always gone to them for my tires - especially if you want tires for autoxing or racing. If you want competition tires, ask for Paul.
