Default Tire Mounting

I'm trying to find someone reasonable to mount my NT05's in the North Jersey area without worring about damaging the rims. I need a set of 335/19's done.

Not sure if Discount Tire is in your area but they have been great with me. The first time I took my C6 to them the manager could tell I was 'concerned'. He said "don't worry, we do Corvette's all the time". They did seem to know how to lift the car and handled everything really well.

Discount Tire is really the most reliable national installer, with the right equipment to mount those Big 'Ole Vette tires without damage...

You can also check Tire Rack's web site for "recommended installers".

Found a good place called Epic Auto in Jersey City $100. They are recommended by Tire Rack. No problems at all. Took them 45min to take the old off install and balance.
