Where do you buy your tires?

Does anyone on here work at a tire store or know anyone that does. I am trying to find somewhere to buy my tires but I am broke beacuse of a recent ticket. If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I am looking for a 215/40/18 or possibly a 225/35/18 thanks. Or if there is anything used thats close I could try those for now.

I work at Combs Tire and Auto Service on Big Bend just west of 44. I can't get you any deals because I don't have any leverage there, but we can get anything you want. We stock Yokohamas mainly but like I say, we can get anything. Free rotation and balance for the life of the tires as well, no road hazzard though. Prices are fair and it's a good company. Family owned and we've been there since the mid 80's. The only thing I see an issue with is if your car sits extremely low it may not fit on our racks. Oh and I don't know what kind of tire you're looking for but if you're looking for an all season tire, we've been doing a lot of General Altimax tires lately. My friend had some put on his rsx and I was surprised by them. I drove his car to work and home that day and they road nice and gripped pretty decently. Certainly seemed like a decent tire for the price. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp ... Altimax+HP
We do a lot of yok advans too though on the sportier rear wheel drives like yours but those are a little pricy.

Bill, how long do they take to get tires in normally? I need some 205/45-16's pretty soon. Falken 912's if they stock em, if not just some Kumhos or something. If you could PM me prices that would be awesome.

Gotta do it for my new wheels otherwise they'll be a no-go. Suspension is going off for a rebuild pretty soon so I can get it dropped some more. :wink2:

Also need quotes on any 195/45-16's that you can get. Still deciding what i'm going to get.
