I would worry about them messing up your new rims with the wheel weights. Especially if they are aluminum.

4 wheel as in trucks/jeeps or 4 wheel as in quads? If you're referring to quads shoot me a PM if you'd be interested in going riding.

Yes, I have dealt with him on multiple occasions and even sent other people over there. Nothing but good things to say. Tony always treats me well. At the beginning of winter I bought 5 new Goodyear tires from him for my truck and his price mounted and balanced was less than I could have bought them for from TireRack.com (shipping excluded). It doesn't get much better than that.

Good evening CT!!!

When talking about tires...check out your local Ford dealer. Right now there is a special...buy 4 tires...get an instant $100 rebate...plus...many of the tire manufacturers are offering mail in rebates.

Well im happy for you but i will not go back or my family. We have used him for 5 different cars (Not All mine) Nothing but problems. He tries to push the junk cooper tires. The last time was the straw when he had my truck from 7:30Am to 3:30pm and never put the tires on my truck. I was done after that and went down to firestone and was in and out with the tires for my truck.

I would have to say that he has cheap prices but the service has to match.

Now I just want to head down into new haven for some pepe's, thanks. Any recommendations on tires? I was looking at the new hankook atm's. Seem like a decent a/t, and have gotten pretty good reviews. My buddy had bfg a/t's, but I never liked them too much in the snow in CO. I want a decently aggressive looking tread.

i would look at pro comp a/t's. i have bounced around from bridgestones, to kumhos's, and the pro comps were the best quality and longevity per dollar in my opinion. they had a great tread as well.

i know of a good installer aligner in branford if you are interested.

im off to bed guys, LATER!

I'm in Bristol just a couple of miles from his shop. Maybe the difference is that every time I am in there I already know the tires I want. I was either matching a blow out or in the case of my truck, had already done my homework and knew exactly what I wanted ordered. On the other half of the coin my old 79 had a set of Cooper ST tires that I was very happy with.
