Best place for Tire Mounting? Oklahoma City

rsr552 · 11-04-2014, 09:45 AM

Just moved to Oklahoma City from Houston....Any recommendations on best places to get tires mounted?

I just have the stock 18" wheels, but I am skeptical at getting new rear tires at the Edmond dealership mainly because of stealership prices.

No m3 enthusiasts in OKC area?

I took my M3 to Discount Tire on SW3rd and had them install Michelin PSS tires in one size bigger front and rear on my new Morr wheels. I didn't want any rubbing so they mounted them, and prior to balancing, checked for rubbing. The fronts rubbed slightly so they removed and installed the factory size with absolutely no hassle. They were also competitively priced to Tire Rack.

I also used Executive Wheel &Tire in Edmond on one of my previous cars, but not even sure if they are still in business.

On a side note, you ought to check out coffee & cars the first Saturday of each month 8-11am.

I just moved from OKC to Houston!

I second the Exec Wheel & Tire...

Also, my family has always been running tires through Sam's Club and absolutely no issues for 10 years straight. I believe they honor free tire balancing and rotating for the life of the tire.

Also, the guys at Cooper kinda suck...they always seem in a rush and not very helpfull..

Nice! Car scene is strong in Houston! If you need a good place for custom alignments for coilover suspension let me know! I know a good guy that can do it.

The cold front just blew in here...I ordered 2 rear tires for my e90 m3 from discount tire but haven't driven there to get em mounted yet

I'll definetly let you know!

And yeah, my folks down there told me about it getting pretty chilly...

rsr552 · 11-13-2014, 01:59 PM

Yeah...Austin and Houston were the farthest north I had lived until moving to OKC....

My m3 is my daily...I would imagine up here though our regular stock tires are sufficient right? I think it is supposed to lightly snow or so sometime later this week.

OKC is awesome, you'll love it! Regular tires are fine, however, beware we salt the roads in the busy areas, so you'll wanna wash if the build up gets too bad.

If you need any reccomendations on some fun roads pm me!

Or if you have questions on anything else related to OKC life really...I grew up there!

rsr552 · 11-13-2014, 04:35 PM

Awesome! Thanks man!

Same goes to you about Houston! definately a fun place to be!

So...snowed and iced up over here. m3 is my daily driver so had to drive it...

I'm having a tough time finding car wash places (both self service car wash as well as full on hand wash places)...

Any recommendations? I've never had to deal with salted roads before so I want to wash my car more frequently during the winter and get all that salt and sand from underneat the car out.

Chris M4CS · 11-17-2014, 08:13 PM

What section of town? There are full service washes at Northwest Expressway & Penn, North May & NW 63rd and on Memorial near Western. There are several Boomerang and Okiwash automated drive-throughs around town. I haven't used any for my M but have used both Okiwash and Boomerangs in my other vehicles without issue.

rsr552 · 11-17-2014, 08:25 PM

I work downtown and live near NE 50th and Western.

I'll have to find those full service wash places. The automated drive-throughs do not appear to be touchless. Ideally though I mostly just want a self service car wash where I can use a hose to get all the ice/sand/salt off of the undercarraige.
