wheres the best place in northern virginia to get good prices on tires and a reputable shop to mount them?

 

Tires - Best price from a Forum Vendor or Tire Rack
Mount and Ballance - Ptuning, expensive as hell, but you don't have to worry about your rims getting scratched.

 

Radial tire in Silver Spring, Md is legit. They usually have alot of stuff in stock too.

 

Second that. They did my Volk TE37s and did a great job. Price on tires is not bad. The added benefit is the TPMS move over from my stock rims was like second nature to them. No big deal unlike some places.

They are extremely busy so get there early or plan to drop off or wait.

Probably not worth it to drive through an hour of traffic just to get your tires mounted in Rockville of Silver Spring.

To the OP, FunctionTuned just got a tire mounter. Shoot him a PM.

 

Mount em on base, for freeee!

 

That's it I am joining the Military! I always wanted to be a pilot... how about a helo's? Hummmmm

 

My unit has a few F-16 fighter pilot slots open

 

I bought 2 sets of tires online, at tirerack.com, and had them installed at PBC Automotive in Chantilly. Tire Rack can send the tires directly to PBC (one of tirerack's recommended installers). If you select them as your installer, tire rack will send them information on when the tires will be shipped, and they will call you to set up an appointment.

A good friend also used them for getting his tires mounted in his Infinity. He had nothing but good things to say too.

 

one more thing... i was told the wheels require a different mount because the lip where you mount is it on the opposite side of standard wheels. anyone else run across this issue?

 

Those are reverse lip, no difference, just flip the wheel

its actually a good thing, they wont scratch the face of your wheel

what wheels did you get btw?

 

ruff racing 278's. bought em for 500... now i gotta turn around and spend 800 on the tires and another 100-200 to mount and balance . blah.

 

F that man, there is no way I would spend 1500 bucks on some ruff racings...

 

haha, well if i ever damage a rim theyll be cheap to replace... aesthetically they are hot... im just going to replace the ruff racing center cap with a z cap.

 

I've heard some good things about PBC Automotive:
