Anyone know of a good place to get tires mounted around K-Town. I just got new wheels and don't want them getting messed up.

Before that happens, I need some new tires. I've ordered from tirerack.com back in the states and they had the best prices. Has anyone ordered tires from them over here? How long does it take to ship them. I think that shipping is going to be close to $100 if not more, so are there any local places that I can get tires cheap. I'm looking at Kumho MXs and Toyo TS-1s.

Thanks

Take them to the craft shop at Kapaun. That's where I got mine mounted. ;)

Also, I got my tires from Tirerack in 7 days. :D

There is a place on the Opel circle that does low profile tires. They are pretty cool. I think that it was 45 Euro for mount and balance

That is probably for all 4. If so, that is not bad. If they are bigger than 16", I don't think Kapaun can't do 'em anyway. There is also a place past Toys 'R Us. That is where I got mine balanced. They can mount them at Kapaun, but they can't balance them. :) The place off post is called Auto Sicherheits Center.

I always got to OK and they charge me 30 euro's mount and balanced.

damn, i had to pay $20 per tire in the states. They won't have a problem if i just give them the wheels and tires. Last time I went to a tire shop, they didn't think thaty it was a big deal that they lifted my car on the fiberglass rocker panel :evil: (had to talk to the manager about that one).

the wheels are 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear and are going to have 265/35 and 295/35 tires on them

this is the only pic I have of them. Black Z06 motorsport wheels with a polished lip

yeah, they've got some pretty bad curb rash from when I decided to try "drifting" in the rain on a narrow back road :oops: So I'm just going to keep them with my current tires as a back up set. If I can find a way to get them repaired for cheap, I might do that eventually, but they really aren't worth anything.
