Suggestions for new tires in OC CA?

Any tire dealer you trust in Orange County? Just need rear tires now; about 12,500 miles on existing. Still some tread, but don't like to push it.... Thanks for any assistance...

Well, you can use HW Motorsports on Harbor (near the 22) in Santa Ana. 714-741-0145...Ask for Steve. Tell him Chris with the Hipo Red TT sent you.....I have used him for years.....my last set of PS 2's (19's) were around $1800-1900 installed.... out the door...of course this was 2 months ago and he was the ONLY guy I could find that could even get them.......everyone else was backordered.........

Chris

Steve; I would trust Arling, for sure. Great guy and great shop. It just is soooooo hard for me to get up there. LA traffic etc. The 405 freeway is not my favorite morning (or any time) drive....

Shoreline Motoring

I also hate the drive to LA so I go to Shorenline Motoring in Huntington Beach. Shoreline Motoring is owned by "Paul" a former Michellin employee. The shop has all the best equipment and the prices are very competitive. Actually better than the low end shops such as Americas Tire Company where we ain't gonna go anyway.


Cheers

R

P.S.

Shoreline did a Brembo install for me and I am very pleased.

I highly recommend Shoreline on Beach in HB. Great shop, they really know their ****. They do most of the work for the local guys in HB (Foose, Milli
n, etc). Very knowledgeable and great service. I'm going to them for an alignment and maybe new rubber tomorrow hopefully.

Try Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim

I bought my last set of PS2's there at a great price and I jusxt replaced them with Advan AD07's again at a great price. They have the best installers and I never have to worry about any kind of wheel damage.
