I am tired of careless tire installers damaging my wheels.

Does anyone know of or could recommend a good place to mount and balance 18" tires on expensive wheels? Prefer something in the NY Metro area.

Thanks,
Kevin

Do they have a Town Fair Tire out there? They are pretty good, sell high end stuff to so they should be used to mounting on good wheels.

the problem you will find is that if you are bringing your own wheels and tires purchased from somewhere else they wont guarentee that they wont be scratched when installed

Not what i found. My gf brought her mustang in to have a tire pluged at a local town fair tire. Well they thought something was wrong with the seal the tire made with the rim, so they removed the tire, and re installed it. In the process putting about a 1 inch scratch on the rim. Really hardly noticable.. They had her purchase a new rim, and reinbursed her completely. She actually made out over 100 dollars too, cause the rim was onsale, but the webreciept didnt show that.

Anyways, its hard to bring rims/tires to be mounted anywhere that employes mostly part time highschool kids making 7 dollars an hour who really dont give a crap.

I was lucky. My local Goodyear dealer is run by a guy who also owns a ws6. I chatted with him for about a half hour before he told me that he would personally mount and balance my tires on the 19s as opposed to giving it to the 'kids' working in the shop.

He wrapped every rim with a towel and made 100% certain that each rim came out spot on perfect. He made sure to hide the wheel weights as well.

Yeah, I have to look for a Town Fair Tire place near me. As for bringing in my own tires.... I see your point. But no one sells Nitto's around here. Goodyear is always good but they are very expensive.

It's the Goodyear tire center in Doylestown, PA 18901.

Here's their website:
