If I could give 10 stars I would. I finally found a motorcycle tire shop in the San Diego area with knowledgeable and professional service with affordable prices.Rob was extremely professional and clearly knows his stuff. Advised me on any additional things I needed without pressure. After my last fiasco with a dealer who's supposed to know my bike inside and out, 8 Ball Tires is my go-to place from now on.

It was my first time at 8 ball motorcycle tires. The staff was truly amazing and the owner Rob went up and beyond the call of duty to help me get the tires that I needed for my bike. I am definitely a returning customer, Thank you. 8 ball for your help and your excellence.

Great place to get your new tires installed. Best part is you can actually bring your motorcycle in versus having to take your wheels off at home like most places. Sean and Evan were GREAT and got my bike in right away. Only takes 30 minutes and they have tv, coffee and a pool table all for you while you wait. Note: DONT BE LATE!! Appointments are set for a reason so if you show up late they will have to move you to another time and day for safety purposes. Perfectly understandable.

Excellent experience from the start and all the way through.It started when I called in for a quote on a new rear tire at lunch. They gave me a rough price on the tire I wanted, but went the extra mile by asking what kind of riding I do. Then they recommended a tire that would be better suited for commuting but still grip well in the corners.Then I arrived and hang all my gear on a nice hook on the wall. Once Evan got started he popped out and checked to see how I wanted my tire balanced. I went with the balancing beads. All while sitting in a nice comfy chair watching the history of the Honda 3 wheeler.After Evan got the new tire on, Rob walked me out and went over a few things about the balance beads and how to not get them stuck in the valve stem core when checking my tire pressure. After that Rob was extremely safety oriented and made sure I understood about my tire's break in distance.All in all, a really good experience. I will definitely be back.

10/10 would recommend. Needed tires for my bike changed out. Every place in san diego gave me a hassle with prices / tires in stock. A buddy recommended this place. Making an appointment was super easy, they even called me ahead of time. They were very friendly and transparent about about the pricing. What i liked is that they ask questions about what riding you do to set you up with a specific tire for that riding. All in all super happy with the service ... Oh lastly the mechanic who did my tires was named MoMo. Super quick with the tire change . Thanks MoMo. -Cory.

Huge fan of this tire shop, it's certainly the most enjoyment I receive out of having to replace my tires. Be prepared to be greeted with complimentary water, coffee, and motorcycle talksOne of their Techs, Evan, has maybe replaced 8 of my tires over the years and he's done a phenomenal job, every time. Never had a single issue, they NEVER have scratched the rim, and I'm always out of there as quick as I came in due to their lightening fast service. Huge shoutout to Rob, the manager, for sharing stories of his Vespa but more so being for the customer! I promise this place will never screw you over, and I can guarantee you won't find a cheaper price (trust me I've tried) Bonus shoutout to their tech Mo, for helping my locate an old receipt when I needed it too! Thank you 8ball motorcycle team!

First time using this place but it came highly recommended from a friend and I see why. I didn't catch the name of the front desk guy but he was very helpful and transparent. Shows you every charge on the screen and goes over it with you. The waiting area is clean the shop itself was clean. It's hard finding people you trust to touch your bike but I'd trust these guys again no question. I was in and out in an hour.

Awesome spot. They do a bang on job, its super quick and easy, no fuss. Priced very fairly, especially if you just bring your own wheels in. Rob, the owner, is usually in, which is nice to see. He's super knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to, hilarious guy.

Rob and the rest of the gang at 8 ball are fantastic. They take the utmost pride in their work and their concern for their customers is above and beyond. I really enjoy spending money at places like this where the whole team takes pride in what they do.The icing on the cake is that they're all actual enthusiasts and have a passion for the sport...they're not just in it for the money or just a job. They really enjoy what they do!You need tires; this is the place. Full stop, no reason to go anywhere else!I've had some very delicate and rare wheels in their hands and they do a phenomenal job of returning them in the exact same condition they received them in. That's not easy to do! I've changed tires myself on a machine like they use and even I've made a mistake here and there, scratching a wheel. These guys are pros and have forgotten more about their trade than I will ever know in total. ?Their labor rate is probably too low, but I'm not complaining. The balance beads they use have made every bike I've put them in silky smooth. I highly recommend that option.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Got a next day appointment and they were ready for me when I arrived. Great waiting area with cold water, hot coffee, a TV and a pool table! I paid a little extra for something I didn't even know existed: a set of Balance Beads that are supposed to automatically balance your wheel dynamically while riding. Just because I don't understand it doesn't mean I don't want it.At checkout I was asked to leave a tip for the guy who mounted my tires. I bet he gets paid a decent wage and I declined. This tipping craze has gotten out of hand. And $650 for set of tires is plenty.

This place is great.I called to see if they had tires for my Kawasaki KLR650 and they found them in stock and they were able to get me in within the hour. The process was done in an hour and the waiting room was very inviting. I shot a game of pool and watched some riding videos. I met one of the owners who took the time to review what was done and give me safety advice for the break in period.The experience was beyond my expectations!

Thank you, Rob and Evan, for making it happen!! Flat tire at 4 pm, tow truck didn't get to me until 5:50 shop closes at 6. Pulled up at 6:10 and Rob was just getting ready to leave, but opened the shop doors, pulled my bike in, and took the time to speak with me on my options, he then wrote me up for repairs. Although he knew the next day was booked up, he said he would get my tires changed out even if he had to do it himself. Evan ended up with an opening and got it done. 8 Ball Motorcycle Tires will be my go-to in the future and the recommended shop to my friends and family. It's definitely a 5-star shop, if not more!!

Thank you Rob and team for the work on my CBR1100XX - was offered 90 degree angled valve stems (photo) and recommended getting balance beads instead of weights for each wheel. Both sounded like a great idea to make adding air easier and extend tread life.
