I find that the name on the building is of ZERO consequence... it is the skill of the ONE guy touching your wheels.

Discount is fine, I think here in CA they are AmericasTire. I've bought tires there and had them mount. Twits, however, refused to work on one car becuase it had 'dangerous spacers on it'.. (3mm...the width of this letter: O )

I now use ONE guy at a Big O Tire. I schedule around him, unless it is one of the crappy cars (MDX, Truck, X5)

I highly recommend the Hunter 9700 "Road Force" balancing machine. This matches the balance with the 'compliance variation' of the tire itself.
