I actually have experience with speed merchant, they installed a supercharger for my dads mustang and did great work. From what I can see they have a great thing going there.

America's Tire is not a dealer of Bridgestone or Toyos. They can order it for you, but they'll charge you the exact same thing as if you bought it off of tirerack

America's Tire. They got a lifetime road hazard warranty too. Just picked up a set of Falken Azenis RT615's from them. Good price too.

Yeah, Americas tire stands by their work... if they mess up your wheel they'll buy you a new one no questions asked. (not that it has happened to me)

auto innovations in milpitas is my spot...mention i-club and they give u a discount, they ask how u want your tire pressure, and if u need one, do an alignment according to your driving style. they stand by their work. gotta support the local mom'n'pops stores.
