Default Places in Orange County to mount and balance tires?

Hey guys its time for me to get some new tires, and I was wondering if there were any good shops around the OC that you guys can recommend? I know shops usually don't charge as much if you buy tires from them, but terra has some great prices on the PP's. So I was looking to just buy from terra and get it them installed somewhere else.

Thanks!

cycle gear if you have one near you. . they offer motoguard with the tires they sell which is basically a warranty if you get a nail in your tire with less then 25% treadware, they'll replace the tire free of charge. and we all know how often that happens.

i'm working at cyclegear in laguna hills. imo, cyclegear is by far the best place to buy tires from... basically 35% off retail prices on most tires, free mounting with purchase, and the option of getting motoguard.
if you were actually looking to just have the shop do all the work though, check out cyclemall over on redhill and irvine center drive. those guys get a huge from me. very very reasonable prices on parts and labor.

Hahm Motorsports
714.563.1700

CycleWest
714.894.9829

CycleGear
714.525.4205

Mission Motorsports
949.582.0351

R*Cal Racing
714.848.6797

I'll post up some more if I can remember them.

Personally reccomend Nate @ R*Cal as well as Cyclegear. The rest are too pricey and not as customer oriented, but I posted them in case they are more local to you.

yikes...i called mach 1 and they quoted me 290 for PP's with mount and balancing. i asked how much would it cost just to mount and balance and they said 70!

chris from terra recommended me a place in temple city, i forgot the name of the shop but i do have their number and he said if you mention that you bought your tires from terra they will put them on for 10 bucks a tire!

i left the number at work but ill post it for you guys when i get a chance

Cycle GEar will usually price match - find the best price and see if they'll match it.

I've been using the Laguna Hill Cycle Gear since they opened a coupla years ago with no problems (Fullerton prior to that - also no probs).

Motogaurd is cheap insurance too - went through 3 tires in a month once.

Gotta say that I'm likin the PP's too
