Local tire shops
I am looking to purchase 2 Nitto invos for my front tires and I was wondering if anyone knew of a shop in the area that sells them or will order them. Cause I can get 2 shipped for like $288 from discount tire. Just wondering if anyone knew of a good place that might sell them.

Give Rex a call, 819-6969, Performance Tires & Wheel Services. He has a Z06 and probably can order and install them for you. He installed my tires.
I forgot to mention, he is in VB.

I have never been to Rex but have heard nothing but good things about him. If he can't help you though call Steve at Colony Tire in Norfolk.

Merchants on Laskin Rd will match Tire Rack prices, I have been using them for a while, I am not sure if they will match discount tire though
Also RK mounted and balanced all four of my tires for $25.00 a tire...but I was told if they were runflats they would be a little more.

How long do they usually take on getting tires in at Merchants?

Depends on what you are looking for, if it is nothing too radical, they can USUALLY get it within a day or two...I have even ordered tires on a Friday morning and had them on the car that evening.
Usually though, they require that you get them mounted and balanced there though, but I ordered the last set direct from Tire Rack and had RK mount/balance them...I know they are still matching prices, but don't know if they are still requiring mount/balance with them or not.

Nitto Invos. Not radical haha. And I am fine with having them balance and mount as long as it is not more than 30 bucks per.

It's been a little over a year since I went there, so I don't remember what M/B was.
