I would find a locally run shop that sells a lot of tires and see if they will mount your tires. When I lived in upstate NY I had a locally owned tire distributor that was the area distributor for Cooper Tires that mounted my race tires. They didn't charge a lot and the guy doing the mounting worked on a NASCAR Modified Pit Crew and knew about mounting race tires. Each time I took a set to them I would get them back marked with the stagger sizing so I knew which tire would work best in a turn situation. Try and find that kind of knowledge at one of the big tire company stores. You can get Pirelli Slicks pretty much locally for you from GT Racing Tires http://gttrackdays.com/?doing_wp_cro...93273925781250 which is located in WI.
