Tire shops around Hickam area

I'm about to order some wheels and was wondering if anyone can suggest a reputable tire shop that has some decent prices on tires and who can install them and not scratch them up.

Tires don't have to be super bad ***. My car is not a DD. Thanks in advance.

i'm on the same boat. rads just quoted me $240 to remove tpms and tires from oem wheels and mount them on new wheels... $240 sounded pretty pricey.

Usually $10 to mount, $10 to dismount, then balancing depending on size can range from $15+. Plus you gotta be careful with the TPMS. unless you don't really care about it

I figured 15$ to dismount x4 =60... 15$ to mount x4 = 60$ leave me at $120 to dismount then mount. $120 more for tpms removal/install? + another $140 for alignment? I get the whole alignment thing, but come on for the A$$RAPE for quote of $240 for the rest... pm me with the $10 spot die!

Yup, hobby shop. In fact, they'll do the labor too.
