    I need recommendations for tire shops that wont scratch my wheels. Butler wants $130...I trust them but am curious what other quotes you guys have gotten and where.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yogi's Tire about 1/2 mile from Sprayberry High. Remove tires, had prodrives powder coated (props to Miller Powder Coatings), and put them back on yesterday with stems 40 bucks. Oh and balanced them as well.

    thanks for the input guys and gals!

    Gran Turismo East is right around the corner from my work. I'm wondering if I can fit 4 wheels and tires (unmounted) in my W to bring there.

    So, I can rest assured that this place will not scratch my wheels when mounting them?

    thanks Josh,

    Kerian was very friendly over the phone and assured me they would take good care of my wheels. I'm takin them either friday evening or early monday morning...depending on when I get off work and if the wheels are delivered on time:sx:

    That's why I drive 20 miles in traffic to go there, the service and people are fantastic. I rather pay a few bucks more and have piece of mind than go to discount tire or walmart.

    Keiren still works there?? That's awesome. He's been there at least 5 years as I took my RS there about that long ago to get an alignment done. I highly recommend them as well. BIG props to GTE

    Of course, I also take my stuff to SoG ;)

    yup. he pretty much runs the show there. he and the rest of the crew have always been amazing to work with and extremely helpful. i drive over 30 miles from home to go there for tires/alignment every time.

    agreed. funny thing is, I paid $50 less than Butler quoted me. Not only did I get A+ service, I felt the price was great.
