Looking for a tire installer in the NW suburbs of Chicago besides Lee at Tire Service
I have a set of Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires in 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 for my Pontiac G8 with forged wheels that I need to install. I had Lee at Tire Service in Elk Grove try to install them and he ended up telling me he can not install them due to stiff sidewalls even though they are not run flats. Lee said that I need to go to an installer that has the tire machine with extra rollers to press the tire down onto the rims which he doesn't have. So I am looking for a tire installer that can do these WITHOUT messing up my wheels. I had Discount Tire mess up a set of wheels that I had prior to these so I will not go there again. Who does everyone use here for tire installs besides Lee that does a good job without damaging anything? If your shop can install the Corvette run flats then these Firestones should be no issue for them. Thanks for your suggestions!
