I'll try and keep it short. Sunday (11/30) was looking at getting wheels and tires. I ordered the wheels through Jose (12/1) and was going to order general grabber ATX but they couldn't match the price of the online guys. The online be guys delivery screwed up bad. Weren't going to receive them in time for my trip. I ordered them Monday was told delivery Wednesday. The delivery basically lost them. So Thursday (12/5) went into Les Schwab to check out the wheels that came is on time and fast. Loved them! Then noticed Les Schwab house brand the Mazama (built by same people that make Dunlop and Firestone) Open Range AT. They had them in the size I wanted. And actually cheaper than ATXs. Russ and Jose made it happen and I didn't have to postpone my birthday trip. I even got an alignment done. The place closes at 6 but we were there till 7. Thanks guys and team! I love the set up! I know your shop is going to be about 45 minutes from Murrieta but I am going to be heading there.
Truck: '15 Ram 1500 crew cab outdoorsman 6'4" bed with Bilstein 5100 level kit on highest (2.8) setting. And upgraded UCA.
Tires: Open Range AT 35x12.5x17. I have about 400 miles on them. Mostly highway. But have drove in the heavy rain and snow in big Bear. These tires handle. Quiet highway ride and grippy wet/snow traction. Plus I got a 65k mile warranty!!!
Wheels: raceline defender 935g. 17x9 w/0 offset. Fit perfectly no rubbing.
I give the team at Les Schwab in Riverside on Van Buren, FIVE STARS!
I had front brakes done there on my Mercedes today and from start to finish, they were consummate professionals at scheduling my appointment, and keeping me informed as to how the work was progressing.
Their parts supplier initially sent the wrong parts, but the mechanic kept me updated on how quickly the correct parts would arrive, and as I waited, he did a complimentary custom paint job on my brake calipers.
When the correct parts arrived, he had everything finished very quickly, and his work was top notch.
I will definitely return for all of my tire and brake needs in the future!
