Manager Eric Panattoni joined 8 Ball Motorcycle Tires in 2021 at 8 Ball’s San Diego location as a tire technician and assumed the leadership role at our Escondido location in 2023.  He is an expert motorcycle tire installer as well as very knowledgable about all types of motorcycle tires.

As a San Diego native motorcycles are in his blood.  Eric starting first bike was a Honda CR50, he moved up through supermotos and has owned Yamaha, KTM, Suzuki and Honda motorcycles.  Eric is currently riding a Suzuki SV650 and has lived the two-wheel-only life for 4 years.  Even in San Diego, that demonstrates his passion for all things motorcycle!

Eric has been wrenching on bikes his entire life and came to 8 Ball from a two-stroke shop where he rebuilt and ported motors.  In fact you will often see him jump in to work on a customer’s motorcycle or a set of loose wheels when the other tire techs at our Escondido location are already busy. 

Stop by 8 Ball Motorcycle Tires in Escondido to talk all things moto with Eric in person or give us a ring any time.
