tire mounting at discount tire?

sojirovskensi

Since I could not find a place in which has touchless tire mounter in Dallas, I am just planning to go to discount tire and have them mount tires on my SL.
Anyone can share experience about aftermarket rims with them?
Thanks!

just put a new set of Continentals on the Z a few months ago. Went with these guys for the price, was a good choice, very friendly and knowledgable. I do have stock 19's though

soji- did you check local speedshops and wheel repair places? unless the discount tire has touchless mounters expect to have mounting marks all over your wheels.

looks like we don't have one here in Dallas.
It is so hard to find!

I would check out the Texas thread..... lots of guys there, I'm sure someone has found a place in (near) Dallas that has touchless.

Just a thought

well, i can't speak for all discount tire places as it appears others have had good luck with them. i would not trust my local discount tire, that's for sure.

No one talked about D/C so..

where exactly do they make marks/scratches?

kenchan

usually around and near the tip of the rim. sometimes on the backside of the rim where its adjacent to the tire bead they will scratch paint off as well. and also need to look out for spoke damage.

it's just a matter of the shop having the right tools and staff so your local discount tire might have both. not sure. i would make sure the shop owner is aware that you dont want mount marks on the wheels. my local discount tires had neither and my wheels came out damaged. actually most tire stores in my area do not have this mounter and ends up with mount marks. this is why i drive out to tirerack to get my tires wrapped. my local wheel repair shop now has these tools so i will be consulting with them to fix my one sport wheel that was damaged by a local tire store when plugged.

with the right tools and staff there should be absolutely no damage at all.

I had discount mount my re11's onto my sl's here in sd and they cam out perfect with no marks. They did a great job

I used Discount Tire to mount rims on the Cobra rims on my old Mustang and on TSW rims on my Crossfire SRT6. I can't tell you exactly what systems the had, but I watched them do the work and I have never had them damage a rim. Even with the extreme trouble they had stretching my GSD3's onto those TSW's.

I had them mount some new Michelin's on my stock rims back in April. They did a clean job and didn't do any damage to my rims. I was a little worried, because the shop I went to in NRH didn't even have lifts; they use jacks to lift the cars up.

Discount Tires have always done a good job with my rims and tires. Thumbs up. Many of the employees who work there are car enthusiasts too, so they know a thing or two about baller rims and they know how anal car enthusiasts are with their rims.

You could check if your Nissan dealer has the right equipment. If they mess up your wheel, its a quick trip to the parts counter to have them order a new one for you.
