    What's up guys! I just got a set of Ray10's and now I'm looking for a legit shop to install them. I'll need to mount new tires and possibly install/program new tpms. Do you guys have any recommendations? Any places that you guys have good experiences with? I don't mind driving but shop in San Jose would be awesome!

    Americas tire on Hamilton has treated me well, they just get crazy busy.

    It looks like America's Tire is legit. I've been to the one in Brokaw and they get crazy busy too!

    The crazy busy thing is true. But what I liked was appointments that work. No kidding. Truck was on the lift moments after my appointment. Four dudes hit the wheels and I was gone within an hour.

    Vex motorsports in Santa Clara (408) 678-0808 ask for Jesse tell him pete sent you they deal with expensive wheels all the time so they'll be careful with your wheels and your tpms won't need to be programmed just swaped over to the ray 10s

    I'm the black sheep of my family with a 4x4, the rest of them are more interested in performance cars. They take their cars to Custom Alignment in Mountain View(https://www.customalignment.com/), the guys there work on high-end cars a lot so they're pretty careful with their tire mounting. Just be prepared to pay more than Americas Tire.

    I get ALL my tire work done at Lloyd's Tires in Santa Cruz, but, well, I live here. Same family has run the place since 1940 or something, at the same location, great service, no BS. I just go there for tire stuff, I go elsewhere for wrenching on my vehicles.

    Not an overbrander.
    I use California Wheels off Capitol/Alum Rock. Macario has helped me with a ton of stuff on my truck, including wheels and tires.
