everyone
like the title says I am looking for a local ish place that does good work for a decent price and wont scratch my rims while mounting some serious stretched tires or even if someone has a trusted friend who has experience, im willing to provide monetary and liquid encouragement
I plan on mounting something along the lines of 18 255/35 on 10" rears and 17 215 35 on 8" fronts. i know this isnt everyones cup of tea but if you dont agree with my tire choice, shut up I dont care what you have to say if it doesnt help me find a place to mount these.
Thanks in advance for the help!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but a 255 is a 10 inch tire, sidewall to sidewall. Also a 215 is an 8.5 inch.

I wouldn't really think that is some "serious" stretching.

Regardless I know its hard to find a competent tire shop in the area. I've had to do my fair share of hunting for all of my cars. GL with your search.

 

I say, hit up www.vwvortex.com and check out their regional section...imho it would be your best bet since this is a big topic for VW's.

 

 

I am anti blue men with no heads!

 

Guys please keep it on topic for the OP.

Thanks..

 

didn't think my suggestion would call in the kids...

anywho, I just went to VWVortex and searched for the OP


Here are the following recommended places

http://www.ngpracing.com, they are in Aberdeen


Radial Tire Company
9101 Brookville Rd
Silver Spring, Md. 20910
301-585-2740
http://www.radialtire.com

a suggestion is if you call any tire shop and ask them if they have a "cheetah", if they know what you are talking about then you are good to go.

Hope this helps

 

awesome thanks for the help echatch
scott... agreed but it looks like you hate of vw's is fading, hope your love for hondas isnt lol looka like there is a need for some touch up work there

 

correct but im still up in the air about it and those would be the largest i would get, im prob foing to go smaller

 

thats a very minor stretch, i stretch tires all the time for my friends at my work (sears auto center).

its really easy

just put the tire on the rim, put lighter fluid around the inner lip that seals on the rim and light it on fire, the tire will pop into place and then just put air in.
