Im sure Blades might chime in here. So I gotta swap my tires onto the 370 before my track meet this week preferably - any places I can trust to

I went here for my tire mounting and balancing, they did good work and my aftermarket wheels had no scratches once they were finished.

A bit of a drive from Meade just to do tires...but I'll keep it in mind if no better recommendations are offered. Thanks!

I went to Mr. Tire on Ritchie Hwy to get mine put on and they did a good job. I can't comment on whether or not they scratched my rims because I wouldn't be able to tell if it was them or me

I think Al just bought his tires from there as well.

Did you bring tires in from outside? Or did you get tires directly from them?

Ordered the tires from Tire Rack and had them delivered to Mr. Tire. Their price for the same tire was a lot higher, maybe like $80-100 more per tire.

Can be, but sometimes its still your cheapest route, even including the install at the shop. Especially for performance tires.

It was by far the cheapest place that had the exact tires I wanted.

Prices were about the same as Discount Tire Direct, for my tires I JUST bought yesterday.

Correction: shittier. DTD has free shipping, and its 2-day shipping. Your site does not. They wanted another $80 on top of the price that was almost the same, for the tires I bought yesterday.
