    good tire mounting recommendations?

    I know, I know... sounds like a dumb question, but I've always had some bad luck in the past. I had some new rear tires mounted on the deep dish bullets at Calibro tire and I swear that they put a few scratches in one spot on the lip, and I'm now paranoid about having a tire shop fudge the finish on the forged wheels that should be coming in soon.

    Do any forum sponsors do mounting/balancing?

    Thanks guys

    Rodeheaver's might be a far drive for you, but he has a "soft touch" machine. Here's his post from over a year ago about the rates and such. I highly recommend Rodeheaver's for anything.

    Thanks for the heads up, that would be perfect if it weren't ~ 100 miles round trip for me. 100 miles might be worth a piece of mind though! Still a possibility, and I'd much rather give my money to a forum vendor than somebody else...

    Wolfpack speed is a pretty easy drive for me, I'm going to PM them now.

    I'll definitely give them a call... first my wheels have to come in though, that way I don't feel like a complete idiot asking if they can mount my tires on imaginary wheels lol

    Thanks PJ!
