Just received my tires from TireRack. Now I need to have them mounted. Anything special I need to know when having it done? Do you need anything special for our stock wheels when mounting the rubbed on them?

I just remembered that I know someone who owns a garage and will have him do it, but want to make sure there is nothing special I need to tell him.

Thanks.

 

They mount like any other tire and wheel. Just make sure they use touchless mounting equipment.

Thanks Jim. And thanks for the help on the correct size, etc on the tires. I got them from TireRack three days after I ordered them. Great service!!

The mounting equipment comes from underneath and does not touch the face of the wheels.

Jim, do you have recommendations in the northern NJ (or even NYC)area with this type of mounting equipment ? Thanks.

 

So the equipment does indeed touch the rim! I knew if I went to a tire shop and asked if they had a "touchless machine" they were going to look at me like I was crazy. I can't imagine how to mount a tire on a rim with the equipment not touching the rim at all!

The guys at the garage that I know could not do it because they didn't have the touchless machine. They tried with their machine, but didn't want to harm the rims, so they told me to go somewhere else. I went to a GoodYear tire shop and had it done. I think it cost me around 10 bucks a tire, or something like that.
