Default Tire Change on Hutchinson Alpha Wheels

Looking for recs on a tire shop in Los Angeles who has experience changing tires on Alpha wheels. Also, how much did you pay?

Don't know about LA. I always took my two Alphas and all my other H1s to Mike Sabaresse at Tustin GMC/Hummer. Mike is still there and Tustin GMC does a robust H1 service business.

Thanks. I recall the last time I spoke to them (~2 yrs ago), they couldn't do it. But, I'll reach out again to confirm.

Might also try Hummercore. They might know someone in your area that will do them.

Yes, I have checked there too. The problem is that the labor gets in to the thousands (plus about $2k for the tires). I know this is the primary reason that people take off these wheels and put on aftermarket wheels. Just was curious to see if anyone had a shop that had experience and was reasonably priced.

If you’re looking for a tire shop in Los Angeles experienced with Alpha wheels, VIP Exotic Wheels, Davis Bros Tires, and Melrose Tires Wheels & Hubcaps are solid options. Prices for mounting and balancing typically run $20–$40 per tire, though larger or run‑flat tires can cost more. Always call ahead to confirm they’ve worked with wheels like yours and check if TPMS service is included.
