Kei Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokones Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (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 by Nokones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuko305 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 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.

Mach5Mk5 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 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 Share Posted February 9 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, would like to hear your thoughts on the the 730s when you get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have some input on the V730s this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
