Winter tire mount but where?
I got these dunlop winter tires that needs to be mounted on my brand new car. Alexandria area. Willing to travel 20 miles max. Anybody who wouldn't damage tires/ rims? Dealer is busy. NTB maybe? Thanks.

Costco.
Even with the membership, it's still cheaper than NTB/Firestone and they are good about not screwing up wheels. john |

Costco WILL NOT do it if you didn't buy the tires there. THey put that policy into effect recently.
Ron's used tires in Manassas does mine for 15 a tire and does a great job. |

I just dropped mine off at Quality Tire in Woodbridge, but they might not be able to do yours today.
Mine are also 14" steelies so I don't care. |

Just a week ago I dropped of a set of Miata wheels/tires and another set of Miata wheels/tires, and they put the tires from set 1 on set 2 for $40. This was the Costco at Newington. john |

at the manassas and chantilly costco they have signs on the doors saying they won't touch it if you didn't buy it there.
Good to know newington doesn't have that policy yet! |

I went to NTB. They refused to do it. They said that it is not safe to use 235/45/17 tires. WTF?
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference 225/40-17 3.5in 12.0in 24.1in 75.7in 837 0.0% 235/45-17 4.2in 12.7in 25.3in 79.6in 796 5.1% Why wouldnt these be a problem I don't understand. I still have so much clearance on horizontally and vertically. |

Go to the tire manufacturer web site and look at the specs. It will say what width rims they can be mounted on.
