Some places will match Tire Rack’s prices if you bring them the print out – but not all or they will say they don’t carry that tire. The lifetime balance sounds good but I keep hearing horror stories from neighbors about Tire Choice. I have been to Kauffman but was not super impressed. These places seem like churn and burn and have low margins and it shows, they are pressed to move cars in and out.
Personally I went to http://www.advanceperformance.com/ here in Tampa which had some nice cars they were working on (the place is not as impressive as the website makes it seem) and were very cool but definitely ended up spending more than I would have at one of the chain places. -Larry 91 GTI 16V From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steven Arguello Sent: Monday, November 9, 2015 6:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mk2-16v] Tire Rack + mount and balance tires locally... worth it? I wonder all the time about that. If you have the tires rotated and balanced once a year it's probably worth it. I only use Tire Rack when I'm picky about what tires I'm buying, now that's just with my GTi. All other cars, whatever's cheapest/easiest. I've been to 4 or 5 different places in the past 10 years and I'd say that they're all pretty much the same.

Cost is about $110 before tax. I purchased the tires at Tire Rack because I was looking for a good deal. Anyone else buy tires at Tire Rack then wonder if it would have been better to just buy locally? Do places like Tire Kingdom and Tires Plus still charge less for mounting and balancing when tires are purchased from them? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MK2-16v" group.
