Default Tire places in Lehigh Valley, PA?

Any recommendations from the local guys on where to get tires mounted and an alignment done? I'm not real enthusiastic about the places I have used in the past...

Thanks, guys.

Default I've used Jack William in Lehigh St in Allentown for my winter wheels.

I don't think they have the latest and greatest in equipment, but I didn't have any issues after they installed the tires. The balanced out perfectly as far as I'm able to tell. Dave did the installation for me. Definitely talk to him, mention that the local Audi club referred you, and ask him if HE will do the work for you.

I would use the above as a back up though...they may charge you a lot if you're bringing your own tires in. Typically, they just sell tires, and include installation in the cost of the tires.

Ask S4nit (lives in the area) for other reputable options in the area.

Default Do not go to auto addictions unless you want to get

fu*ked up the *** on the price. They have a 200% marked up on the crap they sell. I have seen some really bad work come out of that place. LIke christan with the tt. He had them put new pads on his car and they did not tighten the calipers tight. HE was driving down the turnpike and the bolt came off and the caliper fell and destroyed his wheel. What are you looking for a cheap place to buy them or a cheap place to get them mounted and balanced?

Default I'm kinda near Schnecksville, if you know where that is.

I met some of the EPqC crew at the Fun Run in May. I was the guy who navigated for the second group...

Default I am looking for a place to mount, balance and align.

I don't live far from Auto Addictions and stopped in there a couple of times. Never got good vibes from them. If I was ricing my car up and didn't know how to put on a coffee can exhaust tip, they seem like the place to go. I didn't feel like they could do quality work.

I'll most likely mail order some tires. So, just looking for mount, balance, and alignment.

Thanks,
Brad

Default and you did an excellent job!

well, at least you didn't get sick in my car : )
1st missed turn was my fault and 2nd was the map so you really did do a good job.
