Trusted Tire Installer in Pittsburgh

tims370z

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.

Yeah... a lot of my mother's side is from the area... Slippery Rock to be specific. The accent always makes me laugh.

I’m in Jefferson Hills. South of Pittsburgh.

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.

I have a Power Wagon for a truck.

Two rows of 3 275-285 wide tires with the stock 245 right behind the front seats!

Was able to get the tires mounted last night, no problem at all. Very cool!

they really wouldnt put a 285 on the stock wheel?

my place has put 265/305 set on my stock rays for like 6 years now.

i gotta find a new place for 285/325 on the GTR this year though. my place's machine has put a nick here and there on my Z wheels but those are hard to tell. the gloss black GTR wheels i dont want them taking any damage.

Funny enough the place where I got it done was the Cadillac dealer of the same group of dealers where I usually take my Nissan. I stood there while he did it. If we weren’t chatting it up so much he would of been done in 30 minutes.

Not sure what happened or why the Nissan dealer didn’t do it. But I’m going to let them know the Cadillac guys treated me better. Should stick in their craw a bit.

Curious, because now I’m obsessed with tire sizes, did you do a 265/35 on the front and 305/30 on the back?

FPenvy

which caddy dealer?

and yes 265/35/19 F and 305/30/19 R using RE-11's. sadly they're discontinued. best tire in my opinion.

think i had 6 sets on the Z. had OEM for like 8k miles they were gone, then michelin super sports that lasted 10k miles and i rolled the sidewalls so those were gone, then RE-11 rest of the way. still on the car. i have 3 sets of fronts at 75% i keep hidden. sadly on my last set of rears. these were new last year and only 3k miles on them hopefully they last this year.
