can someone recommend a good place to get my tires balanced around the 626 area, preferably one that does road force balancing? i found one shop that does it but they want like $40 per tire -- is this the normal price?

I use Tire Rack in San Gabriel for all my tire/balancing needs.

40/each JUST to balance (no mounting/dismounting) is too high.

Temple City Auto in Temple City (better for more highly modified/super low cars). John and Henry are pros at handling suspension and wheels/tires for high end and highly modified cars. They are next door to Raceline.

or

EZ Tires in Walnut. Matt is super careful and detailed oriented.

I've used both shops for tires, mounting balancing, and digital alignment. Plenty of shops in SGV though that can do it well and for cheaper than $40 but these are the 2 shops that I use for all our cars.

thanks for the recommendations. I called EZ Tires and Matt gave me a great quote. I'm going to try and go this weekend. Knowing you've personally gone and can vouch for his work really puts me at ease. Thank you!

Yup, I was just there last weekend for a set of new Federal RS-R's on my brother's car. Road force balanced, cleaned up my hubs, and even did a quick digital alignment to confirm I was still within spec. There's a nice car wash in the same plaza too.
