Where to buy Toyo tires in Southern Cal

I am convinced that I want to go with the Proxes. Where do I get a good deal in Southern California?

I prefer not to deal with the internet on something like this.

Ask for "Little Bill", and mention the Acura forum. Tell him you want a killer deal and that you have made up your mind (as in, your ready to buy).

I got the 235/45-17s for around $150-160 each (install not included).

Some people want way too much, shop until you get a good price! The www.toyo.com site has a dealer locator by zip code, just get a ton of names and call around if the price isn't right.

I bought my rims & tires (P7000s) from Vic at:

Discount Tire Center
10707 Valley Mall
El Monte, CA 91731
(626) 579 -1182

Definitely not your typical DTC. (See Wheeloptions.com). Good prices and service. Check him out.

Interstate Tire, in City of Commerece. They are good people to deal with. They fix tires for free and do tire rotation and balance for free also. They do the free services even if you did not purchase your tires from them! Builds customer good will; it sure worked on me.

Yea -- little Bill will give 'em a whooping if he doesn't give him two ponies and five-hundred bucks.

But, I think I'll be forgiven if he can't give a good enough price.

(Little Bill = Bill Jr, Big Bill = Bill Sr.)

BTW -- I do get free rotations and balance...

Hmmm.... They were the ones that wanted to charge me more than $200 each for the exact same tires I got at "Little Bills"

I guess I should have told them I was going to pay with "Big Bills."
