Have a 997.1 GT3 with OEM ceramic brakes with tires that will age out soon though the tread wear is minimal (less than 500 miles). Moved from the East Coast where the latest tires were installed with road force balancing but now in Santa Monica. Is there a trusted tire dealer/installer anyone can recommend. Trying to minimize risk to the ceramic brakes/rotors. Is road force balancing necessary? A local tire installer I use for my Suburban seemed not to know about RFB.

 

I have not been personally, but several of my friends go to P Zero World on Santa Monica Blvd.
You can bring your own tires and such. Reasonable prices and mostly deal with higher end vehicles.

 

Thank you very much. They have great reviews re: service and value and are very close to my work.

 

Stokes was great when I lived in LA but that was quite a while back. Worth a quick call check if they are still doing lots of track cars.

 

Stokes is still A++. Really hard to beat the service / honesty there. If you're willing to travel a bit further and want more of a p-car focused shop, Wheel Enhancement near LAX is great. I tend to take my p-cars to Wheel Enhancement but have never had an issue with Stokes on everything from a Ford to an f-car. Both know their way around centerlocks.

 

Wheel enhancement located near LAX

 

stokes is great for a general purpose high end tire shop in sm

wheel enhancement is the best in the city and is porsche gt2/gt3/gt4/turbo focused at lax

but pworld i've heard is legit too and claus (owner) is a very very og car guy from the 80's/90's/00 having started cec motoring and bringing all the legendary euro brands to the usa before anyone else
