I already responded to Craig about this in private, but I'd like to second
the vote for 5 Points. The O'Boyle's recommended them to me and I have had
great experiences with them. One of the last independent tire shops and
very friendly service.

I have been using 5-Point Tire in Redwood City. I have
had no problems, even though I've had them putting
195/55/14's Kumhos on 14x5 rims. They are also
unperterbed by mounting them "Inside out" according to
the side walls.
