Radial. Many times I've gone in for new track tires and Paul has said "well, these have another couple of weekends in them" (I race on RA-1s which get better with age for Summit Point, at least until they cord...). I recently bought a new (4th!) set of wheels and Paul had just the right wheels and at a great price. Worth the trip to Silver Spring.

Agree with Dr. K. Paul at Radial. Or save yourself a drive and get a tire machine to do it yourself.

We forgot to mention that Radial Tire can be like a busy day on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Regular users develop strategies to avoid the rush. For me, dropping off and picking up wheels the next day worked.

This. I always drop off and pick up later. Mostly worked with Paul and Eric, but they've been very good to me for the last 10+ years.

Does Radial tire offer any type of wheel repair service if the rim is bent from a curb?

I think Radial send the wheel out to be fixed.

This. Once you can DIY tires you wonder how you lived without. Any tire you want at a good price delivered to your door by the magic brown truck.
