    Jesus dude, he was asking what kind of place he can do it at. Like the type of store. From what I took it sounded like he wanted to try to do it himself. So man people on this forum are so fuckin quick to jump down anyones throat that asks a "noob" question....

    any mechanic type shop can do it.. any of those total car care places where people go for oil changes can also do it.. any local rim shop, or tire store.. or basically any place that works on cars can do it for ya

    Re: n00b question....

    ^free rotations? thats awesome...sears down over here went out of business, well the one that was a landmark for over 40 years....

    costco is a good place, but is costco in the east coast? (yes stupid question, too lazy to go on costco.com)

    sears, costco,bj's, most tire stores...some mobile stations do it, i dont know how much they charge though call around...

    I used to buy all my tires from sears because they rotate for free,great come winter time when I needed to swap.

    As far as Car forums go, this is a relatively slow one. No reason to deter people from posting topics. This is a reasonable question from someone who just wanted some advice from people who care about their cars.

    Re: n00b question....

    I got mine a discount since thats where i got the rims from... just make sure you get an alignment and rotate your tires every 3-5k miles

    i've also had good luck at discount tire, friendly service, free rotation and balancing, and they don't mind me hovering over them while they work. haha.

    Re: n00b question....

    Yeah would go to a custom car shop, we in atlanta have butler tires. They are excellent. Got my OZ from there and they even were able to replace my stock suspension.
