Default Superior tire install?

Anyone have experience (good bad or otherwise) with Superior Tire (Markham location in particular). I am in need of rear Toyo T1R's and they seem to be the only gig in town that has them in stock at present (Steelcase said they were a couple of weeks out). I was originally planning to buy from Steelcase and have EU do the install however the price at Superior is the same as Steelcase and includes install. Thanks.......

I've never used them for the 944 but I've used them several times for my BMW for tires and alignment, they did an above average job in each case. I worried about wheel scratches before I had the tires installed but they did a good job...no scratches and the balancing was perfect.

EDIT: I've used Steelcase as well, they do the same level of work.

The previous owners @ Superior Tire - namely Ross C - a stand up guy but he's since moved. Jim and Dave @ Steelcease are good but $ driven.
Your best option is Simply Tire, Al's a great person and quality service.
