Tire mounting
Hey guys! Need a little help and this seemed to be the most logical place to turn. I drove up to Atlanta last weekend in my 2011 grand sport to see some family. Got a flat tire and had to leave the car up there. I'm driving back now with a new set of rear tires in tow. Originally NTB said they had the proper equipment. I had a nagging feeling so I called tonight and it turns out they don't. Called Sears and they won't touch the car. Tried quite a few tire shops last weekend with no luck. Does anybody know of a place in Atlanta or macon that will mount these tires for me and do it properly? Thanks for any input!

Wish I would've seen this earlier, I would've done them on our Corgi machine (made for wheels like the vette has) and I would'nt have charged you a penny. But my shop is on 85. If you're still in the area tomorrow, stop by Terry Cullen Southlake Chevy in Morrow. They have a Corgi, ask for Jeff on the Service Drive and he'll take care of it. It's in the ghetto but you won't be shot at during daylight. Scratch that, you're south of their exit (233), 10 minutes from my house. I'll post if I come up with someone.
I think Discount Tire can mount vette wheels. There's one in Macon, (478) 757-1868 on your way home. Open all day Saturday.

@Road Rage...your offer would have been graciously accepted had she posted earlier, this is the type of stuff that makes the Corvette Forum great.
BTW, that's my daughter above so a special thanks to ALL of you guys for helping out a "damsel in distress", she made it home safe and sound.
