Chicago, a good tire place?
« on: June 20, 2011, 06:00:45 am »
Leaving on a road trip in about an hour on a bike that I just started for the first time. Mad dash to build it in two weeks. Rode around the block and the
tires are JUNK! I can stop in Chicago, whats the best tire place? I'll pull my wheels in the parking lot and bring them in. Probably need to order the
tires now though.

From Arkansas to Chicago before you replace your tires?

Yeah I think you should do it before you leave.

Funny, just had my tires did there.  Took a bit longer, but they were cool.  Where you gonna end up?  This is the summer of roadtrips, man.  Awesome.
