Run flat tires

Does anyone know of a tire shop in the Springfield, Missouri area that you would trust to install a new set of run flat tires? The tires on my 2011 GS are slick at 11,000 miles.

I purchased my Bridgestone RE050A runflats(much better tire then the OE Goodyears) from Sawyer Tire In Boliver. I took my jacking pucks for them to use. They gave me a great price and installed the tires without damaging my wheels, etc. Very happy with the tires and the dealer.

When I had my C5, I had ST Motorsports install and balance a set of Michelin runflats that I purchased from Discount Tire Direct. They did a great job of mounting(no damage to my wheels) but couldn't get the tires balanced(two attempts). I ended up taking the car to Robbies(Kansas Expressway and republic road) and they balanced them(of course, I had to pay them additional), no problem balancing the tires, as they had a brand new machine.

Couple of friends purchased new tires(at a great price) for their C6's from Dennis Hanks Chevrolet in Ozark. They did an excellent job. If you belong to the Vintage Vettes of the Ozarks, you get an extra 10% off.
