Tire shops near Fort Meade - any recommendations?

MightyBobo · 09-19-2011, 10:42 PM

Im sure Blades might chime in here. So I gotta swap my tires onto the 370 before my track meet this week preferably - any places I can trust to not **** up the balancing or my wheels period?

I went here for my tire mounting and balancing, they did good work and my aftermarket wheels had no scratches once they were finished.

A bit of a drive from Meade just to do tires...but I'll keep it in mind if no better recommendations are offered. Thanks!

yeah I realize that its a drive, just offering where I went and I don't have a reason to not go back which is rare now a days.

I went to Mr. Tire on Ritchie Hwy to get mine put on and they did a good job. I can't comment on whether or not they scratched my rims because I wouldn't be able to tell if it was them or me

I think Al just bought his tires from there as well.

You could always go to Walmart and save money...just kidding.

Did you bring tires in from outside? Or did you get tires directly from them?

Ordered the tires from Tire Rack and had them delivered to Mr. Tire. Their price for the same tire was a lot higher, maybe like $80-100 more per tire.

I get mine done over at Ken's Goodyear on Dorsey road.

Can be, but sometimes its still your cheapest route, even including the install at the shop. Especially for performance tires.

check out tires-direct.com, i always order tires from them, actually I just got one yesterday for my eclipse. They are definitely my online shop for tires.

b1adesofcha0s · 09-22-2011, 02:15 PM

It was by far the cheapest place that had the exact tires I wanted.

Prices were about the same as Discount Tire Direct, for my tires I JUST bought yesterday.

Correction: shittier. DTD has free shipping, and its 2-day shipping. Your site does not. They wanted another $80 on top of the price that was almost the same, for the tires I bought yesterday.
