Radial Tire rules...
I took my rear wheel in to have it remounted/balanced, because Intersport didnt clean off the wheel before they mounted it, so it had a slow leak.
I had to wait an extra hour because they were busy, so Adam the tech said 'no charge, since you had to wait'....This was the first time I've ever used them. I said I gotta pay something, so he said 'how about 15 bucks'. Sounds good to me! That was for unmounting, cleaning the inside of the wheel, re-sealing/mounting/balancing it.
Just wanted to post this because rarely do people do business like this anymore. Big ups to Radial!

I am undecided about them. They give good advice and are honest. But when I got new tires from them (at a very good price), they scratched two of my wheels. Not gouges, but several inches long scratches. I couldn't tell until the next time I washed my car because the wheels came out of their shop filthy. I went back to have the tires rotated and rebalanced and there was no charge as well as no additional damage when they finished. I've only heard good things about them otherwise, but still, scratched wheels suck.

LOL! That was random. It's not like you can't have one. Just go pick one up!
Radial is great!!! I always use them. Never scratched any of my rims. I always make sure to tell em to be extra careful though.

Get a GT2. You can get them pretty easily now, at a discount even...
Radial is the best. I used to be a non believer, but when they were able to get rid of a vibration problem that two other places could not, I was sold. Paul, the owner, is also a strong supporter of the PCA and a racer himself. He knows his ****. And their pricing is very good, better than Tire Rack in my last experience with them.

I second that! BTW Alex, please bring the current ride to a meet/drive before you do anything with it.

They're ALWAYS very busy, so I'm not sure whether you get to talk to whom you want. They remind me of the Soup **** in one of the Seinfeld episodes. All the customers seem to be regulars. They all seem to know what to do i.e., line up, tell them what you need, shut up and wait and let them do their thing. Interesting thing is I don't ever recall people asking about price. It is as though either people knew they would get the best deal or they don't care what the price is because they value their service so much. But the answer to your question is Paul. He's the owner, racer,...
