Where do you guys go to get them installed? I brought in a couple of loose tires I didn't buy from Les Shwaub for them to mount and they pi$$ed and moaned because I didn't buy the tires from them. They said at the time that if they scratched my wheel or broke off my PSI sensors, that I would be out of luck. I would like to get my tires online and save about $200 bucks but who will install them without crying?

 

Generally if you buy tires from a local shop they will charge you for the balancing only. If you bring them tires from somewhere else then they'll charge you a mount/dismount fee also. Regardless, if the business is a tire shop then they can't say they are not responsible for damages just because you didn't buy the tires from them. That's either poor business practice or just a shady method of scaring you so that you'll keep the purchase with them. You should be able to go to any Discount Tire or NTB like chains to get them installed. Just make sure they have somebody there who knows how to work on wheels with TPS and that they have a touchless wheel mounting machine back there. I know how to mount and balance tires so everytime I take it to one of these places I request that I be allowed to watch during the installation.

Edit: Also on custom wheels if there are already tires on them, make sure when they break the bead that they don't jam the arm into the tire near where the tire bead meets the rim.
