Hey Allegheny, do any of you use a tire shop in the Pittsburgh area, that you're very happy with for prices and service? I live in Orange County, in Southern California and am driving back for Maury's Vintage Spring Fling in Cranberry Township, on May 21, 22 and 23. I really don't need new tires now, and could probably get by on my 5,000 mile round trip with what I've got on, but I'm thinking it would be the safest and smartest thing if I get new tires installed on Friday, May 21st, before we start our shenanigans. I will be needing all four OEM Bridgestone RE050s for my '05 S2000.

Any help you can give is appreciated. Here in So Cal, I usually can beat the Tire Rack prices if I shop around.

I go to Mr. Tire because they have road-force tire balancing. Not sure if they are the best price though.

^ I've never heard of that before. Please explain it to me.

They apply pressure to the tire, while on the rim, to simulate the tire on the road. The machine can determine a precise balance of the tire and tread.

Kyras

Oh. Which Mr. Tire do you use? I found about 7 in the Pittsburgh area. Is there a specific person you talk to, or do you just call?

I'll be needing tires too,while in Pittsburgh.
Will buy them from Tirerack,and their recommended installer is "FLEMING TIRE & AUTO SVC 2"
Anybody had experience with them ???
