    Default Tires in Sacramento

    So time to slap some rubber on the 17X8's I picked up.

    Has anyone had a positive experience with a tire store in Sacramento/Roseville area?

    Any places I should avoid?

    I also Majorly need an alignment and some of the suspension is rusted so a shop with some talent in that reguard would be nice too.

    Every time I buy tires, I go to www.edgeracing.com and get tires, then go to walmart and they'll mount/balance all 4 for around $40-50. Or get a quote from edgeracing and print it out then bring it to a small privatly owned tire place and ask them to match it. Always worked for me. Edge Racing didn't have the last set of Falkens I wanted so I ended up going through a small tire shop with a quote in hand.

    Whatever you do,don't get the 205's those are way too thin.I would at least get 215,s or 225', but i like beefy tires so...
    Don't go with a really low profile either,unless your car is lowered.

    The MX is a good tire for the money if you can get past the gay design on the side wall!
    I would go with a Falken ST115 235/45/17 on a 8" wheel I run 235/40 on the front of the 240 in that tire and it rocks, those tires have the perfect amount of side wall deflection. and they are cheaper AND better than the MX's
