Does anyone know of an awesome tire shop that is stretch tire friendly along with not wanting to fuck up your wheels while doing the work? Any help is much appreciated..

America tire depot by modoc did my 225's on my 10.5's for free. Tony is the guy, he's super cool. If they are new tires they will for sure do it if they are used then it might be a problem

Turns out America's Tire Depot won't touch them since the fear of them scratching my wheels is what turned them off to the idea. I ended up going to Risdon's 76 in Carp and they treated my wheels like it was their own. Talk to Don (owner). Really cool, non bullshit type of guy. The guys didn't even need a cheeta to get the beads to seat. 215/40 on a 9.5" wheel also...

Americas tire used to be cool. They suck now. They wouldn't mount my tires because I didn't buy them from their shop, and they didn't want to scratch my wheels. They had mounted the exact same tires on the exact same wheels, like 3 months earlier, but they refused to do it. Buncha weenies.

The dude at the counter seemed pretty cool until he came out to actually look at my wheels and tires then he flipped his script saying he wasn't going to touch them lol.
Either way though, the 76 in Carp treated me and more importantly my wheels right so they've earned all my future business.... |
