Does anyone know of . . .

A good tire shop in the Chicago area (preferably the SW burbs) that can install my Falken Azenis on my new wheels?

When I put my Advans back on the stock wheels the shop scratched the heck out of the lip.


Thanks!

my shop is in Gurnee. Open 9-5 Mon-Thurs. Sometimes Friday, but we are gone to the track most Fridays and all weekends in the summer.

Not exactly SW burbs, but i'd highly recommend K.O.Tire Inc.
They are at:
150 Seegers Ave.
Elk Grove Village, IL 60007-1626
Phone: (847) 439-6986

Map


They do excellent job. Most of the people that auto-x in the Chicago area use them. Best to call for appointment.

They are also recommended by TireRack

Thanks again Bartek!

The guys at K.O. Tire were awesome!

They were very friendly and let me hang out while they did everything.

What do you guys think!

Falken Azenis have a pretty tall side wall. they are 245/45ZR17.

What can I say: I'm an autocrosser first, pimp second.

No offense taken, they sit a bit high for my taste too, but they are great on an autocross course, and cheap too.
