Where'd you get your tires MA?

In the market for new tires and as much as I love how smooth these run flats are it's time for them to hit the road. I just moved up here and first time buying tires for this girl. In florida with my e46 I was forced to buy them online because of how staggered I was.

Where'd you get your tires?

As a side note I'm contemplating doing coilovers while I'm at it which will put me at around 2k when it's all said and done. Meh

You would be in good hands with Turner Motorsport....suspension install and tire mounting.

If I'm not mistaken I think someone said that they no longer do mechanical work there since they no longer have the real estate that they used to have? Unless that was specific to tuning as I believe that was the topic at hand.

Yeah, Turner has plenty of real estate. For suspension install, I would contact Dave (dave96dcm). He did my KW's and charges a very reasonable rate. As for tires, I just got mine at Town Fair Tire. They'll pretty much meet any price including installation

Just be careful with Town Fair. Most of the staff is about 16, and guns your lug nuts on wrong. Yeah, there's a story there.

No problem

I usually just order from tirerack, it gets here fast enough. You can always go to someone local and see if they can price match


Also, do you still want my intake?!

When I need tires I call http://www.motostartire.com/about-us/ .
They are in merrimack, nh. They don't install, but no one can beat their prices since you'd get the same price the people trying to beat it get.

Direct Tire will match the Tire Rack price. They were the best deal of 4 or 5 places when I was shopping Continental DWS.

I would buy from them again. The one in Natick was good to me.

I don't usually buy "extended warranty" type stuff, but I went for it on this set of tires. I've already used it once when I had a screw in my tire. They took care of it right away for me.

Yeah that's who I used to order from I was just trying to avoid buying online if I could and seeing if I can save some $$ but doing a one for all somewhere. I haven't hit TMS for a quote yet though as I was thinking about going there in person. I want them to look me in the eye when they strap one on.

Did you align with them elsewhere or not at all?

TMS is booked out a month or so and I just found out I've got two nails in my left rear tire. Run flats are making a good argument right now seeing as I've been driving on these for like 2-3 weeks now. But that ride quality though.....
