Default Good Trusted Place to Get Tires In the Burg

I searched but no avail. I'm looking for a good trusted place to get tires in Harrisonburg. I could get them from the web but then you have to worry about putting them on etc.

Thanks!

Got mine from bergey's in broadway. Its on industrial drive, close to where broadway electric is. The price ended up being as good as any I could find on the internet.

Wal mart, costco will be cheapest. If I were you I would buy from tirerack as they are the cheapest usually and come usually next day. Then have them installed at a dealer or shop with fairly new equipment. I usually buy mine from tirerack and have one of my techs mount and balance at work (harrisonburg nissan).

Oh I must say I'm looking for Falken Ziex 912's, not sure if many shops would really have them in this area.

I'm tired of 2xx treadwear tires that only last a season...

How much do shops usually charge for putting the tires on the rims? $10 a tire?

The thing with that is, pay $70 per tire, then $40 more. If you get them in the shop locally you usually pay $70 mounted, etc. At least that about how much I paid with disposal last year hehe.

Don't go to Firestone they have tampered with my '87 MR2 both times I went there. My dad always goes to that tire place down beside the little grill on North Main st. l. I cant remember the name but he has always had good luck there.

Do you guys have Falkens Ziex 912's in 205/50/15 or 225/50/15 flavors? :-D

I'm avoiding main stream places too, I have a set of Michelin's right now and they lasted one year on my NA motor, I can't see them lasting more then a season boosted. That plus I like being able to watch while they install the tires and that way I don't have to leave a car for the day and worry about some guy taking the car for a spin...
