Tire installation Concord/Walnut Creek or Oakland/Berkeley?

The place I used to go to in Concord is gone.
I have tires that need to be on my wheels. x 1000

I seem to remember a place in Walnut Creek?

hmmm...I thought they only fixed, polished etc..
They can balance and align too? That would be too easy.

I've gone here. They're chinese run I believe. Slightly thick accent while dealing with the guy. They charged me about $30 per tire for balancing and mounting. Driveway's a bit steep to get in though. They also go by a different name for when they do tires. Can't remember off the top of my head. lol

Big-O tires in Walnut Creek also Gillian. Give them a call first though to check pricing but if Rite-Way does it, I would trust them more.

I'm just afraid what Jose might find. I live in Oakland and the roads haven't been kind. I can see a $600. visit in no time flat.

Wes, this is my second set of Yokohama S drives. I lucked into the first set and loved them. I had Pirellis before that and they were noisy compared to these.

Most Wheel Works will do the same for under $20 per tire, plus something like $20 more for disposal of the old tires.

There are a few places in San Jose that will mount and balance for $30-40 all around, plus $15 disposal. It's usually the Mexican places that are the cheapest, not the Chinese!

Thanks, I may have to try these out. The BF's KWD's have proven good but get noisey. I'm also looking at the Friestone Wide Oval Indy's. Rated #1 by Tire Rack. Anyone try these out yet?
