Default San Antonio Tire Installers?

Anyone have good experiences at any particular installers here in SA?

I need new MPSSs for my C7Z06 an am not looking to have my wheels wrecked.. C7 Z06 tires I'm told are a b* to install safely and properly.. (or any C7 tire that is)..

I'm looking for a solid Discount Tire that you've used or something?

thanks in advance.

Discount Tire at 281 and Evans have mounted three sets of tires for me. 1 on my C6 and two sets on my C7. I just make it a point to let them know to take a little extra care. Good luck.

I took mine to the discount at 1604 & Bandera road. Like Silky 1 said walk the car the the manager. Do you have the jacking pucks? Point that out to them. Best of luck.

Post some pictures and report back on your experience once it’s finished.

Discount Tire did not want to touch my 20" Schott Wheels with 295 Michelin Pilot 4S tires...I've used them for years for both business and personal tire work and happy with their work...Black Jack Speed Shop on Fredricksburg Rd. near USAA did a very nice job on the Corvette wheels...Billy Mitchell can help you out.

Blackjack is on Huebner close to Floyd Curl.

Discount on IH 10 did my 20's with a painted lip and did not do any damage. I was going to do them myself, but they said they would not do any damage. I was very happy with the work.

Bummer.. they scratched 2 of 4 wheels. Kinda sucks, but not too bad considering the tough mounting reputation these wheels and tires have. They’re gonna send out their mobile wheel touch up contact to fix up and make it right. I will report back how it goes...

DT sent me to a wheel repair shop to fix the scrapes and nicks.. all expenses covered by DT. Alloy Wheel Repair. The shop was nice and super helpful. Although on super close inspection you can still see the spots, I’m ok with it. Sucks to know it’s not the same, but at least DT tried to make it right. Better luck next time I hope.
