In need of some new rubber... ;-) Any recommendations for a good shop to support in Orange County?

 

Tires Warehouse in Fountain Valley.
Euclid exit, same as Fry's, but across the on/offramp.

Ask for Steve, tell him you heard about them from Jeff in the SoCal Mazda RX Club.

If you have high end wheels you're **** about don't go here. I don't want them to put up with that type of customer. I've been going & sending people (friends & RX peeps) for 10+ yrs. NO gripes from anyone I know personally. Most wish there was a closer location.

They don't carry EVERYTHING. But what they do will compete with Rack's prices.

Call to get a quote, in case they need to transfer your selection from the main warehouse, 1 day away.

Bridgestone, Firestone, Kumho, Yokohama, Falken, Sumitomo are a bit of their choices.

No Nitto for sure.

Do your part; Do some window shopping on your sizes through T-Rack, have an idea of what you like, narrow down to 3 choices or less.

Best of luck!

EDIT: Let me clarify & elaborate a little more; TW's prices are in-line with TR's online prices, with the added bonus of not having to pay for shipping. I'm not aware of T-Rack ever offering free shipping. The tax savings doesn't fully outweigh the freight fees on tires under $300/ piece. Complimentary rotations too.

 

Accurate Alignment in Orange.

You can get your tires at Tire Rack and have them shipped there.

 

I enthusiastically agree with this recommendation of Accurate Alignment. These guys work WITH you in setting up your car. I wanted a bit more self-centering and heavier weight in the steering, and they dialed in just the right amount of extra caster. The car drives better than new. And, they are great people. As long as they are around, I won't go to any other alignment shop.
