Default Maryland Tire Installation

Anyone have a good place in MD / NoVa to install tires w/o rim or TPMS damage?

Thanks

My previous tire swap was handled by Criswell Chevrolet in G'burg who are a big Corvette dealer. Perfectly satisfactory, but it was some years back. Last swap was wheels and tires, so did not need a local shop.

Familiar w/Criswell's service dept, no thanks. Glad to hear you've had success with them.

Go on the Tire Rack website at the top of the page and look for approved installer. I took my rims to Quality Discount Tires in Kensington, MD. They did a great job mounting them. I installed them myself as I was putting new rims and didn't want anyone lifting up the Z but me.
Make sure that the installer you use knows how to lift a corvette.

I wonder how TR comes up with top rated installers. There was one I planned on trying but several friend said they had bad experiences there.

The review for QDT looked ok. Prices were a little high but its worth it if they won't screw up the rims or break a TPMS sensor.

This is my second set of tires / rims so they're off the car as well.

Thanks

Rob
