So Orange County CA Tire Insall Recommendation Needed

Looking to put some fresh tires on newly restored Fuchs rims and don't want them dicked up.

I am looking for recommendations for a place to buy the tires from and have them installed based on direct personal experience.

I have 16X7s and 16X8s and was thinking of 205/55 and 225/50. Still looking at brands and models.

Thanks!

Call Hergeshiemer , not sure if they supply tires as I already had my own .
They’ve put track tires on for me in the past , but last time I called they recommended a place that I think was on lake Forrest drive .

I have used New Year in S.A. (714-371-0703) for my race slick installs & balance onto my CCW's on a regular basis.
They do the custom tire & wheel mounts for most of the N.B. dealerships, they know big wheel$ and tire$.

I've used America's Tire in Costa Mesa for years for purchase and installation.
Never a ding or nick on my Fuchs or wheels of two other cars.

In the past , the manager at Allen in lakewood has done a “caring” job .

He’s a car guy , so knows what is what .

He gets a tip , but if he’s not there to do it himself I’ll drive away .

If I’m buying from tire-crawler , delivery to Allen and he’s the man .
If I’m buying from tire-rack , I get home delivery then the options I listed above .

I went with Hergesheimer since they are within 3 minutes of my house...they performed the task flawlessly. I will sending the car to them for alignment and further lowering (if needed).
