Where can I get slicks mounted onto 3-piece wheels?

Post by Tom Berube »

Simple question, but...

I need to mount Goodyear G19 cantalever slicks onto 3-piece Kodiak wheels (13 inch x 7). America's Tire blemished my wheels (I'll never go back) and Jim's Tire man will mount Hoosiers but not the Goodyears with their equipment since the Goodyear sidewalls are much stiffer (I would go back).

Where do you get your "race" tires mounted?

Thanks, Tom

Tom, I had Big O tire in Pomona mount my 20x8x13 Goodyear slicks on my Aero steel wheels---they did a great job, cheaply.

If you're anywhere close to Pasadena, Island Tires is great.

Western Tire in Burbank does all my tires. 818 842-2401 Plus they help sponsor us autocross drivers.

Thanks everyone. Got them mounted at So Cal Performance in Downey. Took a while, but we got them on. He also has race gas (108).
