Default Tire installation recommendation

Just want to thank those of you who recommended America Tire on Brokaw Rd. in San Jose.

I got a great price and they did flawless work.

I was especially concerned with scratching the comp grey barrels when removing the weights, not a scratch.

And I love the Potenza S0-4 tires, real sweet riding compared to the GY Supercar F1 RF's.

I too can highly recommended this shop.

I voiced my concerns before hand and was assured that my concerns would be honored.

I've gotten 2 sets of tires for my Z06 there and they'll see me the next time too. They really know how to take care of the customer and his or her car.

Keep in mind that we can match any written estimate on almost all brands of tires here at Abel. We also just purchased a $25,000 tire mounting and road force balance machine. I myself was able to change a set of my Z06 tires without a scratch and that was my first attempt at mounting wheels.

Very cool! Now I can be (somewhat) sure that the correct TPMS sensors will go onto my rims.

Where in the world will you install the thing??
