Tires mounted and balanced

DOMs335D · 07-06-2018, 07:33 PM

Hi ya'll,
I'm from Vancouver (the Canadian one) and I was hoping I could get some shop recommendations. I'm buying RE-71Rs and a set of Apex EC7's as my track setup and I would like to ship them to a shop in the Seattle area to be mounted and balanced. Sadly TireRack doesn't sell Apex and Apex doesn't carry Bridgestone tires, hence the need for a third party.

Where would you guys go? If there was the option of storing the tires for a month I'd be even more excited. Of course I'd be willing to pay for said storage. That way I can pick the set up on my way to the Ridge in August.

Thanks for you help!!

I use Discount Tires. They do an excellent job and have several locations.

Try Achtuning. I've also had good experiences with Discount Tire

Looks like they carry the RE71R's as well. Do you think they would match tire rack pricing? I'll probably just send them the rims and get the tires from them.

Thanks for the help!

They match Tire Rack but include the shipping in the match. So if Tire Rack sells the tire for $250 and has $20 shipping per tire, Discount will sell it to you for $270.

Thanks for your help guys. I ended up calling Discount and they were very helpful. I bought the Bridgestones from them and they are good with receiving my rims and storing the mounted wheels until my next track day.

Cheers
