No one will mount my tires...help

Didn't have enough stretch when i ordered them, and just figured I could get
the new tires mounted when they came. Every place I go says It's a safty
problem. I've even showed them the site and they're all like..."all those guys
are gonna ruin their rims and tires are gonna blow" It's not even that crazy of
a stretch 215/35/19 on a 19x8.5 and 225/35/19 on a 19x9.5. Any help would be good... thx in advance

i might suggest going to some mom and pop shops. not big chains as they will most likely refuse this. or go to a tuner shop or a drift shop they will understand what your trying to do. if that doesn't work try a bmw mechanic they also will understand what your trying to do

i had the same problem at first.......1 discount tire said NO!

the other discount said, no, but they would try.

I gave them reverse phsycology and said " if your not capable of doing it, I'll go elsewhrere" lol

but its really not a big deal.....they gonna mount the tire just like any other tire they mount......only thing is once they have it on the rim......is just to air it up and pop it in place....

are you running falkens?

yeah, but the last week when I was back for a rear tire......they cracked one of my scaras.:mad: ......not going back.


JENKS, I was asking if you run falken....cause i always have to tell discount its a new phenomenon called VIP....and that Falken promotes the movement and that the 452 is design to run stretch.....that usually does it ( I've been to like 9 diffrent discounts in my area)

do it yourself

get the tire put on the wheel by a shop, take it home, put it on the ground, spray starting fluid inside, run a trail, and light it.
instant bead seating...then put the valve stem in

What do you think is in starting fluid.

Also dont run a trail just give it a few licks in the tire and throw a match at it.

Now the reason why they dont is have you ever seen a tire blow off a rim. Have you, I have I saw the shop manager blow one up and it wasn pretty. It took all the skin off him from his knees to his tits and left his dick on the ground.

This isnt to be taken lightly
