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.

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.
