Roy - Barnwell House of Tires in Mineola does all my wheel work. They got my runflats off my OEM 18's and are the only ones allowed to touch my 19" CSL's. Let me know if you need more info.

Sure will, in the future good to know. One place even wanted to charge me more....his words were...." If I were to ensure that no scratches, I will have to charge you more"....like buying insurance....as if for a normal removal...you are always bound to get scratches. I don't mind paying more...if he would have said it in a nice way I would have done it.

I got it done at NY550's place...dismounted and mounted a set of Vredestein. No issues.
Also you can check tire rack about installers in your area (search by area code). Click on the shops and it will show you the machines they use to mount/dismount them. You want to look for the the Hunter TC 3500A- machine.

glad to hear all went well. the STS in wayne is a tirerack recommended place, and they have the right machine. The guy told me the runflat tires make it more difficult. I had to go back the next day because the machine they use was down. Unfortunately, Don't put too much faith in the dealer's because one of my sideskirts was damaged, crushed on another car I had at the very First oil change/1200 mi svc.
