Got the tires installed earlier this evening by Russ and Marek at FTL. They're also professional and also work fairly quickly. Pricing is pretty much a mirror of TNT.
I definitely won't hesitate to use either's services again. I suggest you guys just make an appointment at whichever one is closer. Or (like in my case today) whichever one fits your schedule better.

Didn't think so.
(Yes, I pay double for that, but then again it's worth it!)

Can't believe you fit all that in a CR-V! Skills. Most I've ever carried is 8 wheels w/tires mounted. Then again, I guess you're not too worried about getting minor/superficial nicks on your track wheels.

Often, big tire shops will have low paid kids working on your wheels. Once the tire guys/gals get good, they realize they can make more elsewhere and bolt.
We started this business when a local Goodyear shop couldn't get my old Turbo Miata tires balanced after 3 tries. And once, when I dropped off a set of tires on SSRs, the kid rolls them across the shop like a bowling ball. I'm like "Is that wheel gonna end up on it's face or back?" Oh and one time, a shop cut deep grooves into the Aluminum of all 6 spokes of all 4 wheels. Um, couldn't you have noticed when the 1st spoke was gouged? So we started this business over 3 years ago to ensure we and others have access to conscientious tire service.
I've talked with a shop in Spokane (Adare Motorsports) who was looking for advice on tire equipment. They're up and running now and while they charge in our range for moderately sized race and street tires, for low profile stuff, they charge $150 a set all day long.
You often get what you pay for. TNT and FTL have low overhead, so can offer good quality services for less than the big shops.

Just gonna bump this because I'm going to have Karl mount my new Pirellis on some Volks
Hopefully he can fit me in for tomorrow. I really wanna get these Volks on! Was gonna go to FTL because they're closer but they charge $60 now? >.< Pricing is better with TNT and I have had Karl mounted tires on my Meisters before - I'd make the drive to Renton haha

Sorry to bump an old thread but has anyone been there recently? I called both the numbers no one picked up so i drove down there and no one was home. Did they go out of business or something?
