Exclamation Need new tires HELP!

anyone know a good tire place around LA or is it cheaper to buy online? Even if its cheaper to buy online wouldnt the shipping be expensive? I got 19's and i need something decent I dont really care if its a cheap brand its a lease. Can anyone give some tips or places to go I dont want to spend over $700 because labor would be another $200 since they have to change the TPS sensors as well ?

There's no need to replace your TPMS with every tire change... as long the valve stem has no leaks you should be fine with it

Try inquiring to different local tire shops in your area... If your looking for budget priced tires... Try looking at these brands: Nankang and Nexen

Don't forget to ask about price matching. My local America's Tire will match a print out from Tire Rack to earn the local business. It won't hurt to ask.

Gotten good service, balancing and price from http://www.discounttire.com/
For LA, for a no-snow tire I can recommend the Michelin Primacy HP, but they ARE expensive. Another choice for the W204 is the Conti ExtremeContact DW, both are best in class, the Contis apparently are the quieter of the two. When the Primacy HPs wear out (not soon though, even with the brutal roads south of the Border), I plan to get the ExtremeContact DW. (Many may not agree, any comments?)
Get alignment from a custom shop that guarantees 0.1 tolerance.
