Default Can anyone recommend a good tire installer?

I need to have tires installed on 18" wheels and was wondering if anyone can recommend an installer in northwest NJ. I'm mostly worried about them scuffing up the wheels but a good price is a definite plus.

Thanks in advance.

not many of us out there in NW NJ but I went to USA Wheels in Fairfield, NJ to mount tires on my CE28N since 5 places said no they can't do it since it's an upside down wheel. They did it and everything went fine. No scuffs, no markings. Just a clean mount.

I've always had tires unmounted and mounted all in one shot so I never know which part of the process a wheel gets messed up (maybe both?). But I need to get tires off the wheels first so the issue is still there.

Thanks for the recommendations, guys. I might check out USA Wheels, then.

Freeway Tire in Dover, NJ has done a couple sets of 18's for me in the past.

Thanks, I've actually passed that place a few times before. I'll check them out, too.

HiPER, how much did USA Wheels charge for mounting and balancing? It might be different now but I just wanted to get a feel for their pricing. You can PM that info if you want. Thanks.
