Can't go wrong with Orlando & the guys @ Auto Innovations in Milpitas. Not sure of their pricing, though. But they will take good care of your car & wheels.

My apologies, Patrick. Since they mounted & balance tires, I figured they would be able to flip them. Why don't you give a local Wheel Works or America's Tire Company a call?

i'm gonna go with wheel works and american's tire as last resort. idk if i can trust them with my rims. wheel techniques quoted me 30 a tire so I might jump on that unless I can find a place cheaper.

i know namrock has taken his car there too with no complaints. I trust ryan's judgment. When i need mine flipped im going to take it to Larry's. Legit spot. I think it is worth the extra miles. goodluck patrick.

^^That guy is on the boards right? I think his username is "the punisher" or something like that. He seems like a really good guy. I PM'd him a while back and he didn't even know me and he still offered to sell me some Falken's for really cheap. I ended up getting them from a friend but still it was pretty cool of him to offer it.

It's a shame about Auto Innovations. I really like those guys and trust them with my car/rims but damn I wish they broadened their services a little.

I've been thinking about flipping my tires also. Is the quality of the ride still the same after you flip them? I heard that the ride is just not the same after you flip them, but hell it beats having to buy new tires for the time being.

how bad of a wear do u have? we flip tires but we do it if the insides are lower than 20% its pretty dangerous.
