Default URGENT! NEED HELP! Tire Mounting Problem

Hi all,

My mechanic just called and told me he couldn't get the RE050 (OEM size for MY04 & MY05) tires mounted on my prodrive rims (GC07C).... he said I should find a place in Chicagoland that specialize in "sports car" and has equipment to mount low profile tires on rims to get it done right. I asked if Discount Tire would work & he said "SPORTS CAR SHOPS!! NO DISCOUNT TIRE!!"

Can anyone give me a suggestion on this, please?

Your help is greatly appreciated!!

K
p.s. it doesn't look like Red can show up for tomorrow's meet.....

Discount Tires has some of the best Hunter tire mounting machines, they guarentee no rim damage.

If you dont hook up with Donnie call your local discount tire to make sure before going.
