  • Tire swap in NW

    Can anyone suggest a place in the NW that I can have the summer tires put on my rims? I went to Fountain Tire at NorthLand in the fall. I didn't have the foresight to snap some pics of the rims before the tires were swapped and I'm almost positive they have a few new dings from the monkeys using the machine. I'm in a bit of a time crunch and can't get the wife's car over to Bob, so I'm looking for someone in the NW that won't frag the rims swapping over some 18" tires.

    I plan on cleaning the rims well and taking pics before I drop it off for the work this time

    make sure they use sticky weights too... sucks when they smash a weight on the outside lip of an alloy wheel

        I had them put on my Avus's, which are winter wheels, so not the end of the world i guess. But still.. why ruin the finish when it's avoidable?

          Similar experience at that Fountain Tire when they swapped my summers back on. Too bad as they have been good in the past.

            I've dealt with them in a pinch before, never seemed to have any issues. Could have been the specific tech who was working at the time?
