Default Tire shop in OC?

Can anyone recommend a good place to (1) buy tires and (2) install tires in Orange County? Obviously want someone that is careful with expensive wheels and has decent tire prices. I found a good one in Lake Forest about 4 years ago, but can't remember where it was!

I'm sure there are good shops in OC...but if you want someone who really knows how to take care of wheels, try Wheel Enhancement in Culver City...a little bit of a drive for you but the shop is great plus you get to see lots of wheels. They sell tires too.

Ken, Check out Grand Prix on Newport Blvd. near 17th in Costa Mesa. He does all the wheels for Newport Porsche.

I had mine done at Wheel Enhancement and they did an excellent job. I will make the drive to avoid damage.

Also GMG is down there not sure on their pricing but I am sure they know how to deal with expensive cars and wheels.

I had a tire repaired at Grand Prix last week and they did a nice job. They handle mostly high-end vehicles so I wouldn't hesitate to go back. I didn't check out their tire prices, but if their tire repair prices are any indication, then they should be very reasonable (my tire fix was just $25). Hope this helps.

Thanks guys. I will give Grand Prix a call, as they are relatively close to me.
