Radial tire in Silver Spring has gotten good reviews on this board. Do not go to GoodYear on Glebe Rd!

should i ask for my old tires back and bring them to work to throw out the window at the goodyear place?

hmm, Qball if you still have some tread, you might wanna keep em!! you never know!! it could be a bitch to trash them later on though, you could always just burn them if you cant find anyway to get rid of em!!

ha... save some to throw at Just Tires on 29/50/236 - they charged me ~$380 to replace a tire, which I had to accept because my car was already towed there, and they proceeded to misplace my wheel lock key...

QBall

ouch I only paid 310 for 2 rear tires...still trying to find the fronts in stock somewhere.

The Infinity Dealership in Annapolis charged be $100 to mount 4 tires. Took 2 hours and they didnt scratch the rims. These were for 19's

Go to ye ole wheel shop in Elkridge.They specialize in high dollar and large wheels.Ask Devon Myself and a few others even the Big names will sometime vear away from anything over 18 .They will sometimes scratch the lips.Ye ole has some adapter they put on the rim and claws to prevent damage.I have seen them do large truck rims.They also have the hunter machine.

Hey Big B, I am gonna take my wheels up to Ye Olde Wheel Shoppe Saturday, are there any shortcuts or places to avoid both traffic and cops up there?!?! I am bringing in my 2 bent rims to see if they can fix them rather than me forking out some more serious $$ for wheels....

QBall

Qball, I can give you the number to chantilly auto body. I was mostly pissed with them b/c they took forever, otherwise they do good work. So if time is no issue...you might wanna give them a try. I actually became good friends w/ the manager there after this whole ordeal. If you want I have his card, and I know he'll remember my name. lol, give him a call if you like!!

QBall

Thanks but I ended up getting an appointment in MD. It ended up being easier since I left my car at my parents' this past weekend and my dad is gonna take it into the body shop for me on sunday.
