Just be sure to ask if they have done it before and make sure they know about the tire pressure sensors so they don't break them. I would take it to a Goodyear store if you have one in the area..

I just ran into this problem last week where the tire dealer I went to have them installed could not remove them. I had to take them to a tire dealer that had the right equipment to handle them. So call ahead and save yourself time.

They have to have the right equipment. My GY dealer does not handle runflats because they don't see enough of them and they have to send a tech off to be certified and they have to purchase special equipment. GY won't even sell the runflat to a non-certified GY dealer (according to my dealer).

Caution. Yes they do. From experience, take a good "before" picture of your wheels AND look at the beads on the tires before remount. Ask me how I know. I have three 8/32 horror stories laying out by my garage,
