    Where to get tires mounted without any damage or drama to rims?

    Looking to have 4 tires mounted and balanced without any bent/scratched wheel drama. Who do you get to do your tire mounting on not so cheap wheels?

    I had trouble finding people to put the tires on my cars....

    I took the Vette wheels to NTB in Monaca.... 345/30/19s and they did just fine.... i took the jag wheels to them, 285/35/20, and they were respectful enough to say they didnt even wanna try for fear of scratching rim.. so i took them to Center Tire in center township, beaver county... they did them, but they weren't cheap by any means....

    Bridgeville is not too bad of a ride at all. Where is Jeff from there?

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    x4 on Jeff, he's done a lot of tires for me.

    I also end up using Center Exit tire that Bish mentioned quite often out of convenience as they are 0.5 miles from my house, never had a problem.
