Default Hook-Up For Tires in San Diego??

Can anyone help me out. I need to get some new front and rear tires for my 2007 350z Roadster. I hate going to the tire store and having them try and sell me crap for over the top prices.

Does anyone have a hook up at a San Diego shop for some front and rear tires? Leaning towards the Hankook Ventus V12 Evos. They had good reviews and seem to be great for what I need. I dont track. My car is a daily driver on the highway for 50 miles a day.

Here are the wheel/tire sizes that I require:
F: 19x8.5-inch with 235/35R19
R: 19x10-inch with 295/30R19 (will probably go down to a 285/35 or 275/35 in rear)

Any help would be much appreciated.

A deal on Michelin Ps2? I don't even think there is a such a thing (unless oem freshly pulled off another car). Don't get me wrong, I use to run them as well, but realized my Z was not a 911 turbo that I take out only on the weekends. They wear quick!

Consider an alternative...maybe buy online?

I am not stuck on the PS2s. I am just looking for an everyday tire. I drive my car about 25 miles each way from downtown SD to Poway for work. Just looking for something that will last a long time and wear evenly and be a good tire in all conditions that San Diego encounters. Also dont want to break the bank.

Here are the wheel/tire sizes that I require:
F: 19x8.5-inch with 235/35R19
R: 19x10-inch with 295/30R19

Suggestions?

Look up San Diego tire and wheel outlet on el cajon blvd, when I was looking for tires a few months ago they had the best prices in SD. Saved myself about $160.00 compared to the rest. I'm sure they can get you almost any tire you want.

Thanks for all the help so far. I am out of town until December 19 and upon my return to San Diego, I will be looking to make a quick purchase and get the tires installed asap.

Any suggestions on where to go and how much it would cost?

Thanks for all the help guys! Its been a while since I visited due to medical reasons but im back in SD and it looks like I will be getting my car back tomm. First thing I want to do is swap out my tires. I currently have Toyo R888s that I am selling (they are listed in the SoCal Marketplace) and want to get the Hakook Ventus V12 Evos. They seem to be great all around tire at a great price.

Back to seeing if anyone has any deals or hookups. I am gonna call San Diego Tire and Wheel Outlike on El Cajon but I was hoping to something closer to Poway since that is where I work M-F.
