Kei Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Who in the Phoenix area can mount and balance Wide 5 wheels and tires (slicks)? (16 x 12 Real Wheels) These are not for the C6 Z06. What are these for? 🤐 Thank you! Kei MacKei Motorsports Quote
Nokones Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Performance Auto and Tire in Mesa on Superstition Springs. They'll give you a discount if you mention SCCA. Or, just zbout any Dixcount Tire Store. Edited February 7, 2022 by Nokones Quote
Zuko305 Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Many tire shops are straying away from mounting tires which are not purchased through them. Discount Tire appears to be one of the last commercial shops to mount & dismount others tires. There a number of small independent tire shops which say “Llantera” and will usually mount/dismount while you wait and much cheaper than Discount, especially if you bring greenbacks. But glance at their equipment beforehand. I’m at a point of looking at FB to purchase a used mag machine and balancer. Discount charged me $148 for mounting/dismounting 2 tires and balancing four. $22/tire was the charge for just balancing. Crazy pricing. Quote
Mach5Mk5 Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Can confirm I've used many a llantera tire shop, they're incredibly cheap, and I've never had an issue with mounting and balancing from them. One I went to in west Phoenix over the weekend did put the wrong tires on though (needed new daily tires for the GTI), and I had to point it out to them, then wait while they corrected it. 😄 I miss my old one (J &J Discount Tires in El Mirage, my dad's used them for years), but don't live that far northwest anymore.

freakin_elrod Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 So for those that buy tires from tirerack, since discount tire effectively owns tirerack now, they will honor just the cost of mounting, which is $22 per tire. I just paid 88 bucks today to have some kumho v730s mounted and my old rival 1.5 S's dismounted. Quote

Also, would like to hear your thoughts on the the 730s when you get a chance. Quote
