Good tire shop in Brooklyn??

I normally go to Staten Island to get my wheels done without any issues but its a trek for me. Wondering if there are any other closer options in Brooklyn that has the latest Hunter machines which can handle low profile tires without much effort.

I've seen too many tire shops bust out crow bars etc... trying to get a tire on and off 19" wheels which makes me cringe.

Where do you guys go with 19" and up?

Alan

^^Not sure. I've been in there once and they don't seem to have the latest machines. I'll have to check with Brian since they installed his 20"s. I want the machine to just drop the tire right on the wheel without them busting out the crow bar that most tire shops use.

my tires were a pain... the tires were thinner then other 20's he installed. But he got it done eventually without any scratches. I'm sure your tires cant be thinner then mine.
