Reputable tire mounting shops in wilmington area? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

McVicker · 03-12-2009, 01:42 PM

I'm looking to get some tires mounted to some semi-expensive wheels. I'd like to have them mounted without any damage to the wheel. So far the two recommendations I've had are, J's tires on Kirkwood highway and this other wheel/tire garage near tire rack off of rt.9 in Newcastle. I don't really know of any good tire shops around here, unless the good ones look like rundown shacks with cheap ass wheels out front

I'll probably just go to J's tires, but for future reference feel free to chime in.

i dont know if i'd trust J's, i went there with my brother when he was down from new york and needed a tire for his evo (emergency situation his tire had a huge bubble in the side) and they really wouldn't mess with it and he just has some BBS MR wheels. you'd be better off going with a touchless tire machine which will cost a little more but will leave your wheels mark free. i think there is one down by the UD football field/ Bob but idk what the place is called.

Yeah it's called Delaware tire center....That's actually where I ended up going, they did a great job. Wheels came out perfect. It was like $105 to mount and balance 4 tires without disposal, not sure if that's high or not.
