[LynnS]

Good Evening All: I have new tires for the car and would appreciate your suggestions as to best persons/stores that can demount the old stock run-flats and mount the new tires. I am located in Chino Hills, California. Thanks Lynn

They are a little tricky to do. I clamp from the outside of the wheel, not the inside! Make sure to use plastic guards on the clamps as these are aluminum. Also clamp the inside (back) rim and mount the tire on the outside rim as you'll need the drop zone as these tires are wide!

Hi Lynn,
I know this is not exactly in your neighborhood, but Shoreline Motoring in Huntington Beach is who I use. If you call and let them know you are coming, they can get you done pretty fast. 714-698-1373

Lynn,

Let me know what you are going to do with the runflats! I need some rears for sure any condition!

I would suggest you call around and find a place that does custom rims (bling wheels) they generally have the newer machines that clamp using the lug holes so the rim is not damaged, the equipment used also never touches the wheel in anyway.

Thanks for the info Mark. I certainly don't need any new tires just yet, but that's good info to know.

Print this and give to whatever shop you pick:

A lot of people dont notice that the tires slip on the rim especially the first few hours after install. Even knowing this and driving easy the first 24hrs one of my rears slipped a 1/4 turn, the other an 8th. So i can imagine how much the average persons tires slip as people like to "Test" out their new tires as soon as they hit the road.

After having tires mounted Everyone should mark their tire with chalk in-line with the valvestem then check after the first few drives to make sure it stays put. and i know its hard but Dont accelerate abruptly for the first couple days

They can move on hard braking too.

Yikes. So much for wheel balance...

All: Thank you for your input - I will let you know the shop I use. Big"O" had previously said they could do them with no problems, but the rounded rim on the "backs" were a problem for them, despite their new machine. Thanks Again - Lynn

Although I have not been here personally, another Viper owner recomended this Costa Mesa company to me-
