Hi Guys,

I'm new to the bay area (just moved from the east coast 2 months ago). I'm looking for a local shop that sells (and can install for me) either a set of Falken Azenis RT615 or Bridgestone RE-01R in 225/50/16 size

tried a search first but no luck...

thanks!

 

i believe america's tires can get you the falken tires.

 

Noe Valley Autoworks can get them. Also, Speed Inn out in Hayward does good work and great autoX alignments (and tire balancing, etc) as well.

 

Contact the subydude guys. . .they can help you out too!

 

Since you're located at SF. Give Mach III a call @ (415) 594-0029. Ask for Henry, and he'll take care of you.

 

for the absolute best deal, go to www.discounttiredirect.com, have em shipped to your local America's tires(same company) and they will mount and balance them for $11 each.

OTD you pay $480(225/50/16 RT-615) + $44. great deal for a great tire.

 

^^ exactly!!! if no one has them in stock and you dont mind waiting a day or two should deffinately do that.

 

1 day for americas, the salesman wants my business so bad and is like "i can get them here by tomorow"...i still buy them online cuz its cheaper by a little bit, plus its fun to figure out how to carry all 4 tires inside of a miata...legally

then for my RS i got the tires from tire rack on sale, then mounted

 

Wheel Works will price match online stores. Thats where I always buy my tires.

 

thanks for the tip guys!!!

I went to that site and I can't find the option to ship it to the store (do I need to put in the store's address manually?

also, I called the america's tires in redwood city and they wanna charge me $20/tire to mount/balance. which america's tire do you use that knows all about this "get it shipped from the website and mount em for $11/tire" process?

 

Try www.tirerack.com that's the only place I buy tires at..

 

redwood city has quoted me $60 for mnt/bal that is if your wheels are off the car already.

yeah wheel works has good price matching, but i got my 050 potenzas for $80, no one could match that on tire rack at the time 225 50 16

 

you've gotta know what to say.

America's Tire's will match their website pricing out the door.

Here is what you need to know to get this deal when you walk in to order the tires:
1) www.discounttiredirect.com and www.discounttire.com/www.tires.com do not have the same prices. the former is less by $10-$30 a tire.

2) if you buy tires from America's tires, they mount and balance them for much less than what they normally charge you if you bring in your own tires. This price is usually hand written on a white board in the office front.

3) They will match the price of new tires + shipping + mount + balance + recycle + tax in the store to what you would pay buying them from discounttiredirect.com + bringing them in to the store + paying the $11 special since you did buy the tires from them.

So, they will have to do some math. Price the tire so after tax the cost is the same as discount online pricing.


I am sure it suonds like a PITA, but if you want the best price, this is what you *can* do.

 

HAHAHA i thought the title said lookin to buy AZN's locally.

 

Tire Rack doesnt carry Falkens which sucks because i buy my tires from them all the time too.
