That place is crap I would avoid, I called them asking if they had a certain size and they said yes blah blah blah and gave me a price. When I got there everything was different. Then they will try to up sale into getting different set that costs way more. And if you don't have cash they wont even talk to you.

I was looking for 235/35/19 and they claim they had a pair of michelins with 80+ thread life (which it wasn't more like 65) for 115 each. When I got there they said they made a mistake and those tires would be 225 a piece because it was made for "Porche 911 GT". Just save your gas and look elsewhere.

I actually had luck with them, didn't have the tires I wanted online, but he gave me another set for a better price.

Heard some complaints about this place cutting in the thread to make it seem like it had more thread then it actually does. Also tires that were damage on the sidewall that got patched and still sold them.

Hey HXS, there's a Mexicali Tires spot in the SFV, I think around Sepulveda & Saticoy. I was also looking at Flip's Tires which is right across the street.


PM me, I need to find some tires too and maybe we can combine our purchasing power .

Never again would I go to Atlantis..they don't mount and they recomend you to a "friendly" shop they use and you get jacked on the mounting...I will stay true to Global..they always take good care of me and those I refer to them.

Abel in the Wilmington location FTW.
