Tire Installation

Where do some of you go to have tires installed that you purchased on-line? Seems kind of weird to go to a place that sells tires as there primary product like Firestone or NTB. They seem like they want to over charge or kind of give you the cold shoulder.

 

The major online retailers will have recommended installers.

 

local shop, usually 20.00 a tire, to unmount old and install new... i pay them cash,, pocket money for them..

 

Ya. Was just looking at the the ones on Amazon. Pep Boys is the closest installer but some of there reviews arent great. When I bought mine last tires from tirerack one of there recommended installers was Monro so I went there. They ended up breaking 3 of my tpms sensors and I had to make 3 trips back there until they finally realized there was 3 broken not only the 2 they thought were broken.

 

got rid of my sensors along time ago.. not needed...

 

I just had this done yesterday. Went to a shop close by that does everything. Been dealing with them off and on for a long time. Cost me $120 but he put a really good guy on the job that took the time to carefully remove my old tires and reuse the tpms. Extra time was used to not scratch anything. The job took a good hour and half and it was worth it. All the shop guys were loving the upgraded look.

 

I go to any tire shop who offers road force balancing as well as using the Haweka adapter when mounting the tire to the rim . Its in your service manual under proper procedures for balancing hub centric Tacoma wheels

 

Just buy locally. Almost every tire dealer matches price and can order any tire you want.
