Trusted Tire Installer in Pittsburgh

tims370z · 02-09-2019, 01:54 PM

Anyone know a shop in Pittsburgh who has the equipment and the willingness to mount a 285/35-19 onto the stock Rays sport rims?

I struck out at my local dealer and the place they suggested. The place they suggested wouldn’t even mount a tire less than 40 series.

Thanks in advance!

My local Firestone dealer mounted the tires on my Nismo. Not PA, but it's apparently not corporate policy to deny service.

Good luck.

Found a buddy of a buddy that is a master mechanic at a Cadillac dealer with access to the right equipment.

Kind of disappointment with my Nissan dealer but I get it. It’s a pain to get these low profile tires on.

Slippery Rock = Slimy Pebble.

Ok, I'm farther south. In Brownsville. I know of a couple places along RT51, near Belle Vernon. There is a tire place near the airport. Can't think of the name of it. The guy I go to for all my tires is Phil's Tire in Fayette City. It's a little place with great prices.

A little further than I'd like, my problem I have now is that I need to get 4 285/35 tires and 4 sport wheels with tires in my Subaru Legacy. Wish me luck! I might be driving with a tire on my lap. I think I have someone in Peters Twp.

If that is your definition of far. I don't know.

I drive to Denver Co. for dinner sometimes.

Well in fairness, only far because I'll probably have to make two trips.

You need someone with a truck.

Have 2 boys in Colorado, and one in NM. So we are out west a good bit.

Last night I was able to get 4 new tires and 4 wheels and tires into my wife’s F Pace! A lot of rubber in the back of that Jag. This was just a test fit. I’m taking them to the installer tonight. I’ll take a pic for everyone tonight to enjoy.

Yes I do need a truck. Funny as I get older I keep finding more and more uses for a pickup. Looking at a Tacoma sometime in the near future.
