i received my 19" 445r's and i have my toyo tires but i am not sure who is capable of mounting these . any ideas will help and what type of shop did some of yours.

 

I had my toyos mounted on my 19" volks at a local tire shop who normally deals with 20"-24" rims for escalades and navigators, they seem comfortable working wiht large rims, and are extra careful not to scratchthe lips.

 

One thing to remember on the 440R series is that it is a "reverse drop-center," which means the wheels go face down on the tire mounting machine (not face up like the OE wheels).

Where are you located? Discount Tire Co. has numerous locations, and have the latest-greatest machines.

 

Shoot me a zip code and I'll find you a Discount Tire store...or a certified installer in your neighborhood.

We do buy new machines...A LOT!

 

this is VERY important, it makes it so if there are any scratches it is on the INSIDE and NOT visible!!

I was very worried when mine got mounted and watched them do it.

thanks i called the shop in barberton they said no problem i think he said they have a rim clamp machine . not sure i will let you tomorrow how it went thanks for your help

 

its a good shop. recommend that a manager take care of your wheels and be sure to ask them if they have the plastic guards as well.

 

he did mention he would use the motorcycle clamps i beleive because they are covered in rubber
