Tire Mounting Shops

Looking for a good and safe place to have tires mounted on my new rims. Preferably one having a Hunter's Road Force Touch balancer. Would hate to have new rims beat to death. Currently shopping for some Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires, 275/40/20 & 315/35/20. Already have OEM TPMS, Gorilla Wheek locks and of course the rims..

Can't imagine having to travel for tire mounting. Why not just have a chevy dealer do it? If they mess anything up they'll have to fix it

This would be tire purchase and mounting.

Dealers sell tires. And a lot will price match.

I'm just struggling to see what complicates this. Or buy the tires and have them shipped to whoever is installing them.

There is no complication just asked if others have a reputable shop that they fell good about getting their tires mounted. Have seen many horror stories of folks having brand new rims marred up.

The Continnental Extremes DWS are great tires and reasonably priced. I have them only in original factory size. 245/275

"The Tire Shop" Leesburg, VA......... (personally know the owner)!!! Has the latest equipment. I have the red line rims so you can only imagine my stress....... I switched to Continental's (at only 16k)..... love them so far!!! She rides much better, looks right and won't feel like squares when it's under 36 degrees.
