Default Recommendations for Tire Installers in Central MD - C6 Z06

Anyone have a recommendation for a shop that can install new tires on my '06 Z06 within central Maryland WITHOUT damaging the car or the rims in the process???? Some of the shops I've contacted said they cannot handle the wide 19x12 rears. Please send me a PM if you do. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried calling HP Racing in Glen Burnie? They mounted the tires on my custom 18" & 19" wheels with painted lips on my 2004 Z06. I was happy with the job they did; no damage to the wheels at all.

These are the wheels that they mounted the tires on; it was before I lowered the car.

Thanks but a bit too far. Can't believe there no other recommended tire installers in Maryland for this.

believe it or Not our cars are VERY rare... 99% of cars wear 17-18s max and if there are 19s they are 8-9" wide,. anything that goes tall and wide MOST tire shops cannot handle..... unless that glen burnie place can take care of you Going up 95 northbound for 45 minutes is worth the trip,. some shops try to handle it and then they are all look curb rashed after tire install.then they "blame" it on your aftermarket rims LOL,... its Stock we said LOL...(not from my experience cause im Not stupid).. I AM in the DC area and We go up to RPM in DE for tire swap and then some

Not sure if you got what you're looking for but Radial Tire in Silver Spring comes highly recommended.

I had my 345 super sports mounted at Costco. They were great. They are particular about only mounting stock tire sizes, but there is work around i can provide via PM
