Default Who is the best in the GTA for installing tires?

Hey guys,

I did a search and some of the ottawa guys posted photos of new tire-install machines that are perhaps less likely to damage rims....but how about you guys in toronto/GTA?

thanks for your thoughts!

They were great when I had my exhaust installed.

+1 SCB. Ilker took care of me on a few occasions. Excellent results every time. Very reasonably priced when it comes to labour charges. If only his tire prices were in line with Simply Tire's...

RNJ Tire in Pickering. Owner is Paul. If there are vibration problems (even with new tires) he's one of two people remaining that will balance the entire wheel assembly i.e. the entire rotating mass, on the car. That means absolutely no vibrations.

There are lots of places that will do road force ballancing. ( wheel on car ) . The issue with this is tire roation can be an issue. Sometimes the tire just needs to be reindexed. But if you cant rotate your tires anyway due to sizes then have it road force ballanced.

Thanks all, for the feedback.
My car is presently in markham, so Speedstar is where i'll be going.

FWIW, somebody in bimmerforums noted that they just got new wheel equipment, so maybe it'll be akin to some of the equipment that the ottawa guys have posted here.
