Where to replace tires?

[darrvao777]

I'm unfortunately not bright enough to do this myself and don't have any great independent shops near me

Where do you go for swapping out the tires?

1) I'm assuming going to the dealership is a great way to get ripped off?

2) I had success going to Costco in the past to get my Hellcat tires changed but I understand only a few places have the correct tire mounting hardware for the CTR wheels?

3) I've used Tire Rack in the past to order the tires online and went with one of their recommended tire installers but it seems like The Tire Choice is all they recommend now

Thanks

Still on my OEM tires, but I plan to order online and take it to the dealer. I see coupons all the time for a good deal having them mounted and balanced.
I wonder if an alignment is necessary after replacing the tires..

I can speak as far as purchasing the tires, usually my best bet is Discount Tire Direct. This time around, I ended up going with simplytire.com because DTD didn't carry the brand I needed and couldn't get it. DTD hands down is the best priced, especially when you stack rebates, price matching and sometimes they even throw their road hazard warranty for very cheap. I've used it a few times in the past too- they ship you out a new tire if you damage yours, basically for the whole life of the tire.

The very thin nature of stock tire requires special machines to change them. There are threads discussing this and complaints from people with damaged rims when the correct machines were not used. I'd do my homework to make sure who ever does it has the correct equipment.

I went to Firestone they gave me a killer deal and priced match tire racks price PLUS threw in free balancing/install.. that sealed the deal

My local Honda dealer told me to go to Discount Tire for wheel service, they said they didn't have the proper tools to dismount tires on the OEM CTR rim without causing damage, I was surprised this was a Honda dealer position, but glad they were up front about it.

My local Discount Tire was really good to deal with, they knew I was concerned about my rims so they had the shop manager swap out the OE contis for new Hankooks (the contis were bald)

Tire Rack's recommended installers supposedly have the proper equipment to handle the tires. Is there a reason why you're looking elsewhere?

I second this; it's how I found the tire guy I wanted to use, it's definitely a handy tool that they have their recommendations listed
