Default Tire Shop - Stretch *UPDATE Tires23 simply amazing!

Im wondering if anyone knows a good tire shop to deal with mounting stretched tires. Im trying to mount 255/35/19 on an 11" wide wheel. My wheele/tires are currently at Tires23 but they cannot get them to mount. This isn't a stupid crazy stretch so Im hoping that another shop can get it done.

Millennium tire on Clark off of Rutherford in Brampton. No issues putting 225/40 to a 9.5, and 240/45 on a 10.5.

Hi,

I worked at tires23. I tried a Michelin pilot super sports 255/35/19 on your wheels today with no problem to stretched. Just not the general tires. Come by tomorrow anytime.

Thanks

Just to give you all an update, after 3 days trying everything in the book, Tires23 were able to get the tires mounted! You guys should know how incredible Jacky and his crew are. They went through hell and back to get these tires mounted for me, and they pulled it off. They had extra equipment brought in solely to try to get my tires mounted, and the most respectable thing was they didn't even tell me. They could've easily went on and on about how much they did to get this done for me, but nothing of a sort was even hinted. They simply went waaaaay out of their way to make me as a customer happy. They even went and mounted one of their own tires, to ensure it could be done. It would have been easy for them to say sorry we can't get it done, and sent me on my way, but they were relentless. It was obvious that sending a customer away let down was unacceptable to them. These guys really should be recognized for how they run a business. Without a doubt, these guys are top notch, and if you have any tire or rim needs, make sure to give them a try.

They needed extra tools for a 255 on 11?

Jacky, care to fill us in as to what you were missing? I've never had an issue with that mild of a stretch.

It appears my tires were probably sitting at the bottom of a stack for some time, causing the sidewalls to be slightly compressed inwards, which made it difficult for the bead to seal. After mounting one of their own tires to ensure it could be done, they brought in an extra cheetah and hit it with two at the same time, and it worked. The problem had absolutely nothing to do with the shop, and their capabilities and work ethic speaks for itself.

If they accomplished what you asked then why the negativity? Take your car where you wish, mine will be going back to Tires23, and they will get my recommendation every time.
