Default Tires and Mounting

Where do you guys buy tires for your after market wheels? And where do you get them mounted? Let the NZC community know...

Auto Effects in College Park. Their my ace in the hole. I won't go anywhere else. May not be the cheapest but fairly competitive and they will ALWAYS take good care of you and make sure it's done right. (301)345-1112. Ask for Rob and just tell him Robbie told you to call. The more who go the better the prices will get fyi.

Typically everything is next day if possible. You can also order from Tire Rack and have them delivered directly to them for your mounting and balancing.

They've done EVERY set of wheels I've ever owned. 18's- 30's

Edit: they're mounting and balancing prices are VERY competitive though.

I get tires mounted at ptuning in manassas. They do a really good job and make sure your wheels stay perfect. I've had volks, hre's, and dpe's mounted there no problems. They can mount up to 26inch wheels so 19s are cake. Prices are decent too.
