Need a good tire/audio shop

I was going to have my tires installed at AMF in Boca but those guys kept jacking me around on prices. Looking to put Hankook V12s on my M3 and also get a subwoofer installed. Can get the tires online and shipped pretty cheap just need a decent place that I can trust to do the installs and an alignment.

Thanks Danny, I called to get a quote but haven't heard back from them in a few hours.. Tried Bello but the guy there says to me "why the hell would you want those tires, they are ****ty" so needless to say that was the end of that conversation. Any other shops? I can get the audio done another time but it would be nice to have it all done at once.

hmm, well they do try to sell you what they have ready stock, just kindly decline, they match tirerack pricing as well. I haven't had any issues with em when I talked on the phone they were nice and I think I talked to Orlando, the owner.

What tires btw?

Going with Hankook V12 EVOs, heard good things about this tire, very quiet and reasonably priced. I guess I'll give them a call back, thanks for the info.

Problem is when most shops price-match, they then charge you for mouting and TPMS vs. just paying an extra $30 for the tire and that includes mouting/balancing which would be a ~$10 savings per tire. Getting them installed tomorrow morning. Didn't have much luck with the INVOs on my G37 so will try these. Sure beats the stock run-flats @ $509 a piece, barely lasted 12,000 miles.

I think I'm rifht around $1100 for all four and an alignment so I'm happy about that. Still have decent tread left on my fronts 245/35/19 so hopefully I can sell them for ~$100 or so. Run flats would be nice to have but they ride was too harsh and to make up for the stiff insides the outside is soft so tread doesn't last. I'd be happy to pay if I could get twice and much mileage but that wasn't the case. I'll see how the Hankooks hold up after ~5000 miles.

Thanks for the help guys, chillen at autoglitz now.
