Best place to get tires mounted without damage? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Just had my wheels powder coated up at Bonehead Performance - looking to get them mounted soon. Is there a place you guys go with hard to mount tires/wheels? These are 17x10" and run a 255/40/17 and the sidewalls are notoriously stiff as crap. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

R/T Tuning mounts tires if I'm not mistaken give them a call. They do great work there I'm sure they can mount your new tires on those rims without a scratch.

Contact Steve Snow at Bimmerworks in West Chester. He has an automated touchless machine that will come nowhere near the wheel. Perfect mounting every time. Tell him Josh sent you.

R/T tuning FTW!

R/T is awesome with tire mounting, another option would be carlos tire on red lion road right off of bustleton

SoStock92 · 03-24-2009, 10:11 PM

Where is R/T?

CarbonIS · 03-24-2009, 11:22 PM

Lansdale off of main st.

Thats hot - I wonder if they have saturday hours - hittin gtheir site

phsdrummer2 · 03-25-2009, 11:47 AM

unfortunately they don't have weekend hours to my knowledge. But get them there anytime during the week and I'm sure they can get them done for you quickly.

Thanks man - I leave for work at 650 - 7am, and get home around 630pm so after work is a pain in the butt

My brother gets alot of work done at Carlos on his jag, they do a sloppy job, one guy mounted a tire outside being on the inside, he was probably new. they dont have good machines either.

Eppies tire on grant/bustleton have touchless tire mounting, i had one tire done, but its expensive being 50$ a wheel...

R/T is good so i heard, i need to get my new tires done there, only bad thing is the drive is long
