I was told that there were machines now called no touch and several companies sell them. It pushes on the tire and no force against the wheel. I have had some bad luck with folks here in this town messing my wheels up.

I have been to wheel workz and lucky motor sports in the past and both messed up my wheels. I thought someone on here might actually by an installer in Memphis and could help me make sure it got done right.

A good tire guy can mount tires without touching the wheels on the old machines. Nothing fancy needed. I used to have some 17-18 yr old kids working for me back in the day that could mount 19-24 inch tires without ever touching the wheel.
Go to a reputable shop, and just make sure to tell them to extend the adjuster on the machine out far enough to where the "duck head" will not touch the wheel. They will know what you're talking about.

Thanks Josh. I have had alot of problems with other places. I have ZR1 wheels and Goodyear F1 tires. I am having a problem with a vibration in the front drivers side tire. I was going to take it off and take it somewhere to get rebalanced. If there is a tire problem I wanted to find someone I could trust. I have a show truck with billet specialities wheels and I have been trying to find someone for awhile I could trust. I know where you are located at in Bartlett. I will give you a call before I come to make sure you are there.
Do you guys have one of those Hunter Road Force Balance machines?
