Buying tires - Brands/models.

Also, one of my wheels is bent I think I said, so sayeth the service dept. I'm assuming aluminum? Anyone know about getting those fixed, or is that more for steel. Not happy about maybe having to get some cheap crap wheels, because I'm not in a position to drop 2k just like that.

So looks like I'm going to need new tires sooner than later on the R32. On my 2nd pair of z rated mixed summer/winter all around performance tires.

One of my wheels is bent too, might be able to fix I hear? But if I keep them for winter tires, any good rule of thumb for actual wheels? I do want some of the fancy black types rather than pita to keep clean chrome. I know I shouldnt under any circumstance buy the cheapo banger wheels from discount as they wont last at all/fragile? I imagine though it's quite expensive for something good quality and nice look unless I'm going for some horrible steels or something.

Woody's did a good job on a bent aluminum wheel for me.

I thought Woody's was only motorcycle wheels?

I don't think you should be thinking about tires until you have this on your car somewhere.

Their website still says auto wheels too:

I had a getoff on my ST1100 years ago and they did a good job on my front wheel.

Woody lived right across the alley from my wife when she was a kid. Knowing what I know of him I would go steal tires before I got them from him.

I never bought tires from him just had an aluminum wheel straightened. They did a good job and had it done when they said they would.

I brought the wheel in on crutches, said they see that all the time.

I took the front wheel off my Harley to Woody's probably 16-17 years ago for a new tire and I think bearings too. Long ago, we'd just moved here. They mounted it backwards and when I took it back they whined because I wanted it remounted.

"What's the difference? Just put the wheel on so the tire turns the right direction" they whined. I had to explain that not only would the speedometer drive be on the wrong side and turning backwards, that the tire valve would also be on the kickstand side of the bike, which is inconvenient as hell.

T'ain't been back.

Had a bit of a bad experience w discount last year. Needed tires for my travel trailer. They sold me the "correct" tires. 500 miles later the tires are in bad shape. Turns out they were totally incorrect for the trailer. I'm no tire expert, that's why I went to a tire shop. They want me to buy 4 new tires. Before I go ballistic, I talk to the manager. He still wants me to pay for their mistake. I was kinda screwed because I was on my way to another camping trip w the family. I had to shell out more $ for new tires that were proper for my trailer. Heavily discounted price, but still money out of my pocket because they messed up. I no longer go to that discount tire (92nd and wads area).

I stick with big-o for trailer tires. Been very pleased with their recommendations and work.

We now take you back to your regularly scheduled program.
