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. https://www.americastire.com/store/ca/costa-mesa/s/1458

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).
