Default Tire/Rim shop

This question has probably been asked a million and three times, but does anyone know a shop that can swap tires to another set of rims? If so how much will they charge and are they careful with the rims while swapping tires?

most places charge 30$ a corner to unmount/remount. gonna be spendy.

I had good luck at the American Tire by Brokaw Frys in San Jose. They did my CE28Ns and my SSR SP1s with no scratches.

I'm a bit skeptical on America's Tire Company on Brokaw. I recently had them mount tires on my CE28's and they forgot to use the extension when I specifically told them to and scratched all twenty lug holes.

However, when I went back, they did own up to their mistakes and offered to have all my rims refinished without any questions asked by Wheel Techniques. Because of that, I think I'd probably go back there if I needed tires someday.

yep. went there to get my TE's mounted in a hurry. I was standing behind the dude while he was mounting the tire and he looked fairly confident in what he was doing. I woulda been shitt'n bricks since its so easy to chip paint, but I guess he knows his stuff

Yeah I'll probably check out Auto Inno and American Tire since they're both the closest to me. Does anyone know how much both will charge per tire?

I think Owen at Ren motorsports charges 15 a corner. Could be a little more ... Hit him up anyway
