    Exclamation Need New Tires!!

    I am in need of some new tires. Where is the best place to go that have reasonable tires?? I have been told BJ's but just seeing if there are other places.

    I have a VW Jetta GLS. What tires do you have? Right now I have Michelin's that is not made anymore.

    Buy on tirerack.com for best price and choose one of their local installers. I highly recommend VAC Motorsports for install. (25th and Snyder) They mounted $250ea. low profile tires on my reverse lip (makes the install difficult), $650ea. wheels with no issues. :-) I custom ordered these from a supplier in Japan, which took 4 months to get...and I trusted VAC with the job. I didn't even peer over their shoulder as they did the work

    The Goodyear at Broad and Spring Garden is good - prices aren't excessive, the guys there are quick and nice.
    Owl looked at Rabbit and wondered whether to push him off the tree, but feeling that he could always do it afterward, he tried once more to find out what they were talking about.

    Goodyear? Dunno - I am strictly a four wheel guy.

    Absolutely MidCity Tire at 7th and Washington (North Side). I priced tires for SUV at several places and they met the cheapest price I could find. Have been going back ever since (5 years now). Very clean new facility and the guys who work there actually have a work ethic. They're careful and thorough.

    Kev,

    I get my tires for my ninja here:

    Motorcycle Superstore - Motorcycle Accessories and Motorcycle Gear

    They have a tire selection that is a lot more then local retailers in philly. Tire's are more important when you're on 2. T-Clocks

    It's cheaper too!
