Tire Mounting advice needed!


#1

Well, my R888’s just arrived! : )

Now all I need to know is…do I trust any old tire shop to mount them on my new wheels or are there particular shops to look for in the Charlotte or Concord area? Also, anything else I should request/insist upon?

Need valve stems too, should I go with any particular kind?

Thanks for the advice!

I use a place in Albemarle (15 min East of Jim’s place on 73) and they only charge $32 to mount/dismount/dispose of 4 tires. That’s the cheapest I’ve found anywhere.

There’s nothing special about mounting them up. Make sure you use some aluminum tape to hold down the wheel weights though.

It’s probably worth getting some metal valve stems. Not crucial though, some of the wheels I bought didn’t have them and I haven’t bothered to replace yet.
