Recommended tire shop in Charlotte

All,
I bought a set of 135 wheels off a forum member for my 128 and am looking for a trusted shop to switch my tpms over and mount tires. Are there any recommendations? I was going to order from Tire Rack and have them drop shipped there unless the shop can give a good deal.

Also going from staggered 205/225 to 215/245 (264's) should I get a 4 wheel alignment? The car just had one a year ago

Thanks.....

I've changed tires and wheels before with no alignment done and had no problems with tire wear/vibrations/etc.

Well, I have used Discount Tire in Monroe (they also have other shops), but they were not the greatest (messed up centering ring on wheels and poorly balanced new tires). I have also used Tire Kingdom in Matthews and they did a good job.

Finally, I've ordered from Tire Rack before and used a recommended installer (sorry, but can't remember who it was back then) with no problems. I guess I would recommend Tire Kingdom for a good local shop. Just need to make sure they use touch-less equipment, which I think they do (just clarify first before using them).
