Default Need Help Fast!

Need cheap tires near San Gabriel. Have Falkan 912's 215-35-18 on Konig 18x7.5 +42 . Running 5mm spacers behind wheels. Last balance could not zero out, and found a separation on inside sidewall of both front tires, around 20,000 on tires. Swapped to rear and was hoping to get a few more miles, but threw a chunk of tread on freeway. Balance with tape weights only on inside of rim. Seems awfully low mileage on tires. Does anyone have ideas or experience on using the spacers? I am planning on getting 40 series tires for better ride, don't think I should have interference problems, but I will still have to use spacers until I get rear hub spacers. Need a good tire store to buy some quality tires with a proper balance, at a low price. Any suggestions? TIA

hit up Tire Central and ask for Donald. He is the best hook up I found. Let him know that you heard about his shop through the scion xb clubs. Good luck!

Seriously that's the cheapest shop I found and the + of recommendation by the fellow owners. FYI, I got my 512's there too.
