Help from Arizona racers

Mike Gray · 08-31-2025, 06:07 PM

I recently moved from California to the Prescott area in Arizona. I am trying to find a tire shop in the area that can mount and balance drag slicks.
Any suggestions of a good shop not too far away.?

I'm just down the road in PV. Can't think of anyone local. Not many drag racers up here with the track 100+ miles.
I'll do some checking...

FWIW, I've had mine done at Discount Tire in three cities and in two different states over the years. Never had a problem. Looks to be at least one store in Prescott

Victor in Kingman/Mesa

I use Discount in PV for my RV stuff...They are plenty fair with me.
I got a lead.We'll know tomorrow.
Brian Pott is in PV.
Alvey is in Cornville.
Jeff Lee doesn't post here, but he's down in Anthem, which is 50 miles down the hill from me. I'm sure he knows somebody down there.

Thanks for the response, it’s a little different than Southern California. I sent Jeff Lee a pm haven’t heard back. I’m also in PV, east end of the 89A. I’ll look up the Discount Tire store. Any more leads let me know,
I appreciate the help,

In Arizona, I have used Discount Tires many times with no issues.
It is all about the technician who is doing the work.
Their machines will handle it because they do high-end tires and wheels.

Also, check out Summit 4x4 in Prescott. They do high-end off-road wheels and tires and, they have an excellent reputation.

I am not in Arizona but I have had many pairs of 14x15 slicks and bigger mounted and balanced at Discount Tire locations with no issues. Front runners also.

I stopped at Discount Tire this morning in PV which is pretty close to me. They said no problem bring them in as long as they are not beadlocks.
Thanks for the help
