Hi, I'm looking for a second set of wheels for my car, looking for a recommendation for a trusted Performance Tire and Wheel shop in the Northern Virginia area.

Seconding Radial Tire. DMV PCA folks come from all around. Ask for Paul.

Ooo -- tell us more about Kenny's experience. I don't know what we'll do when Paul actually retires!

You can also go through Omar at Intersport -- they are in Tysons.
But many here use Radial Tire in Silver Spring. Besides offering full mounting/ balancing services, they can deliver the tires to a shop local to you if you have a preferred installer. Also, I believe Matt Curry's Craftsman Auto is a viable option -- they can order just about any tire you want/ need.

Radial. They will check alignment and charge nada if nothing is needed. I speak from direct experience.
My family + ourselves > 40 years of excellent service. They are just ok

Another satisfied Radial customer, 40 plus years.
They have the equipment that will not damage your high $$$ wheels. Definitely worth the trip to Silver Spring. Kenny is the man but he will almost certainly retire when Paul calls it quits.

I just went to Radial Tire for the first time today and echo what everyone else has been saying. Terrific experience and will be back in the future.
