Tire mounting.
I just purchase a set of forged wheels for my 17 Z06 and now I'm looking for a shop to mount the tires.
Obviously the concern is to not have the wheels scratched or bent during the mounting process.
Anyone have a shop that can handle mounting the RF's in the greater Seattle area?
Touchless and road force balancing is a plus.

I’ve used Discount Tire in Federal Way several times. They have the latest equipment and know what they are doing. I always straight up tell them that I want their most experienced guy working on my car and I always stand there watching everything.
Very satisfied and highly recommend.

Did you buy your tires from them also? I haven't bought any just yet.
I've got a Discount Tire here in Bremerton, maybe they can mount them up.
Thanks for the info.

You may want to call the Bremerton store and ask them about mounting and balancing. You can also ask about the tires you want or go to the Discount Tire Direct website and see if the tires you want are available there. You could buy them online and they can be drop-shipped to any Discount Tire store.

I use the Discount Tire store in Puyallup. They have been very careful when jacking up the Corvettes and Pantera as they do not put them on the lifts. They have never damaged a wheel on any of the cars I have had done there, which is about 4 Corvettes, a Pantera, a 2002 BMW M roadster, a 1936 Packard, and a few others.

I have had Formula tire, the cooper dealer in Marysville, handle wheels that cost over $5000 including rubber, and I would do it again. My wheels are something I don't take any chances on. It just so happens that I have a great shop for it in my own backyard.
I had 1" stretched 25 series tires on a set of Works I had on my BMW; custom color in neon white, polished lips, monster offset, and not a scratch on them. They even wash your goods for ya, so you're new fine isn't disgusting with tire slop when you take delivery
