Great tire guy near Annapolis Maryland

Anybody know a great tire guy near Annapolis Maryland? I'm not looking for track tires, just daily drivers. I just want a guy who will take proper care of my wheels and car.

haven't lived/been there in a while, but back in the day, the Radial Tire Company in Silver Spring, MD (DC suburb, not Annapolis) was my "go to" place for tire work on my carrera -- Radial Tire Company | Michelin®, BFGoodrich®, Bridgestone, and Firestone | Radial Tire Company Silver Spring, MD (301) 585-2740

Don't know if this helps, but here in Gainesville Florida we have a high-end European car repair shop, and they have nice mounting/balancing equipment. As a bonus, they are very used to working with Tire Rack. I've been using these guys rather than tire shops for years...

I use the Annapolis Porsche dealer, I went to several local tire shops and none would guarantee me they would not scratch my freshly refinished Fuchs. They mounted a set of tires on 9x15, and 10x15's perfectly. And, I'm sure cheaper than sending them to shop in Gainesville, Florida

X2 Radial Tire is worth the trip

Thx Patrick3000 -- glad to hear they're still a go-to place. Back in the day, the did a great job resolving a high speed shimmy on some yoko a008P tires by doing an on-car balancing.
