Tire shops in OC I'm looking for a place where I can rotate my rear 555Rs. the passenger side is balding in the center and it's at the wear bars, but it's still an R compound. Tire shops look at the wear bar and say NO they won't dismount and remount it.
Anybody know a place that can?

It's in the first sentence of the very first post... 555R's.
Since when were R compound drag radials reclassified as street tires?
Yeah, I knew Sears wouldn't take it. I had them at 30 first for a little bit, then 26 when I used a penny to check tread depth and found some unevenness, then 24 warm on street and it still wore down the centers faster than the outside, so I lowered both sides to 21, and the centers were still wearing down more than the edges. Gilbert ran them around 15/16PSI near the end of their life.

There's a place called America's Tire Depot (not the chain) off of Lincoln just east of the 5 (make a right on Lincoln if you get off going North on the 5). Don't talk to the owner. The chubbier dude that usually works the bays is chill and owns a 3rd gen. Let him know Ryan with the black T/A sent ya. He should take care of you.
