Default Where do you guys get your S0-2s ?

I need new rear tires pretty bad right now and I want to get the same thats on 'em now. I've had bad experiences with Big O and Discount Tires in the past with my old Civic and 17" rims. It seems they don't or can't mount tires on aluminum wheels without scrathing, bending or chipping the outer lip.

I'm just looking for a tire shop (near the inland empire) that wont ruin my wheels. (which are stock)

Thanks

Well as far as purchasing tires for a good price, I would recommend Arnelr21 from America's Tire Company. Although I personally have not purchased anything from him (YET ) I see that everyone comes out very satisfied with his prices and service. Now for a place to mount tires, I am not aware of one around here in the Inland Empire. I had my tires mounted once because of a flat tire I had and they were mounted perfectly without a scratch (my rims are chrome as well). This place was located near the Spugen Shop in Whittier (Ricardo referred me to them). If you want to travel to Whittier to ensure that your rims are mounted correctly and with no scratches, shoot me a PM and i'll dig up their card

Go to Arnel. He'll take care of you. His price includes all the mounting and balancing and will probably come out cheaper than tirerack.

He works for the America's Tire Company down in San Pedro. I met him a few times when he worked for the one in Torrance. He's a real cool guy and will definitely take care of you. Plus, he's a fellow S2K owner.

Looks like Arnels The Man. I'll probably go there, I may buy wheels from him too so it's good to hear such good things about him.
