Locally I've had very good luck with Rex Tire. They've installed for me on various cars Proxes4, T1S, T1R and RA1. Not really cheap but excellent service and support.

I heard a lot of good things about Tire Rack so I tried them twice. Eibach Pro Kits; no problems.

Tires and wheels ordered July 28; oops, two different wheels sent in a set of four, scratches on the correct wheels. Price adjustment made for scratches, I'm cool. Correct wheels had to be reshipped and tires had to be remounted locally. Still chasing reimbursement for the remount, just my luck I guess.

Ditto on the Star Specs, great rubber for the $.

I got re01r's from tirerack about 9 months ago. Excellent service. Call them, ask for jim, way better than the website. Really nice guy and I think he even knocked a couple bucks off of shipping compared to the website.

For me, I guess I'd rather give the commission to a real person when I can as opposed to just doing it online.

your tires came 3 days after you ordered them. your wheels are the ones that took 10 years.
