Houston Folks: Where to get tires mounted???

Still kind of new to the Houston area and I know there are a few people that can help point me in the right direction. Being a former manager at NTB in Virginia I know I wont even attempt to ask them or Discount to mount my new rims and tires since they don't have too much experience with reverse mount wheels and lower profiles. As of now I'm just trying to get 225/35/19s and 235/35/19s mounted on 8.5" and 9.5" wide wheels. Its not like this is even really a stretch at all its just that I want to know who have you guys had good luck with in the past. Also, when I do get my 9" and 10" with the same size tires they will have to have had experience with getting those beads to seal/stretch a bit. Who do you trust your wheels with in the Houston area?

can't help you there... i'm sending mine to galveston, where my body guy SAYS they can do it. i'm pretty sure they haven't done much stretching, but i trust smaller shops a lot more than chains. average skill level seems to be a little higher. i had to walk away last time dt balanced some wheels for me, s**t is nerve wrecking.

since those are regular tire sizes, just go to discount tire. if they mess them up theyll pay for it.

if you want to get stretched tires mounted, go to wayside tire on beechnut. ive heard that they do stretched tires with ease. thats where im taking my wheels - 235 on a 10 & 275 on a 12.

Someone else told me about them a few months ago and its not too far from me I'm gonna give them a shot.

Thanks for all the recommendations keep them coming I'm still waiting on the rear tires. Surprisingly the front tires are a but narrower than I had imagined them to be when sitting them next to the wheel so I know the rear is going to be a lil bit of a stretch and thats why I'm not even going to try DiscountTire.

I would not go to discount tire. They will curb the heck out of your wheels. Hoebag hit it on the head with the recommendation in regards to wayside tires.

I know it will look mean but the reason I didn't go with the 215s was because of the load rating of the tires. All the ones I researched had a load rating of 85 and thats good for a civic or something but not enough for our cars. I wouldn't do it especially the way the roads are here.
