Where is the best place to get tires mounting and balanced in/near Seattle. Also, do most people swap tires for the occasional autox or track day or is the standard to just have a second set dedicated for the track?

i prefer to have a second set for track duties.

Speedware Motorsports is my preferred place for mount/ballance as i've never had an issue with them and they use additional measures to secure the wheel weights along with placing them accurately and re-ballancing after weights are on to ensure accuracy, rather than the "peel and slap" that most shops do.

I know some people got theirs done at Bel-Kirk as well, during their bbq. Not sure of the outcome; I think Minh might have gotten his done?

Are you talking about using 1 set of wheels with 2 sets of tires and unmounting/mounting tires for the occasional event? That's just crazy talk. Go get a separate set of wheels and tires for race days.

Tight n Tighty in Renton and FTL Performance in Kirkland does fine work.

Heh yeah, get another set of wheels. The last set I had mounted and balanced cost me ~135 from Discount Tire. Doing that every other weekend would be insanity.

But if what Ryan says is true, my vote is Speedware. Probably pay a bit more for the attention to detail, but when it comes to 10ths of a second, it matters.
