Default Where to get tires.......

Installed and have an alignment done in jacksonville, preferably around the southside/arlington area but willing to go else where for a good deal and quality work.

Thanks in advance

Tires for me seem to be cheapest online. ie discouttiredirect.com or tirerack.com cheapest place for the so2's I found is roadway tires website. As far as labor, I have heard goodyear on well's, ask for brian, he is aware of the s2k specs and alignment issues.... hope this helps.

I was looking for tires a few weeks ago and wanted a place that was "S" friendly and SLO S2k suggested Discount Tire in Orlando. I live in Tampa (eastern Hillsborough) but was willing to drive for a shop that would do good work and not abuse my car.

I decided on the OEM tires (SO2's) and they matched my lowest online price and ordered them. They charged me $10 per tire for shipping which was comparable to what I would have paid. Two days later the tires were in and they called to set up an appointment for installation.

When I arrived they were ready for me (no waiting), they allowed me to drive the car in and out of the garage, and the shop was immaculate, clean, and organized. Work stations at each bay with tools for that bay and most importantly people who both knew what they were doing and were respectful of others property. They treated my car like I do!

They let me hang out next to my car and watch all the work being performed. They even torque the lugs without me mentioning it to them.

All in all a very pleasant experience and a few of the guys were at the recent Universal meet to support S2KI. I highly recommend them.

Call Jerry Norris at 407-226-3276

Yup...Charles at Discount Tire for your tire needs.

For alignment...I like TK Performance on Atlantic at 9a across from Velocity Trends. Jason does a good job with the alignment and they have a rack that can handle lowered cars easily. Plus, unlimited alignments for 6mo after the first alignment. Ask for Pat, he works the front desk and has treated me well.
