Being that I need to swap out tires here soon I need to find a good place that can handle run flats.

Thanks
Bernie

I know Lucky Dog Garage can. They took my horrible Eagle RSAs off my old S-Lites and replaced them with some respectible Hankook H105s.

Go to tirerack and look for installers close to Odenton.
WILSON TIRE & AUTO GOODYEAR, ODENTON, MD 21113

Benchmark Motors in Columbia bought a machine just for the TIrerack traffic they were getting. http://www.benchmarkmotors.com/

They also list several Mr. Tire stores

I went to Just Tires in Vienna who has a special press. The second week we had our MCS we got a screw in the runflat. They removed the tire, patched it properly from the inside and did no damage to the wheel. Costly, $84 but careful.

Tire stores

There is a very good tire store in Silver Spring called Radial Tire Company. The owner races SCCA and Grand American. They have all the high performance tires and wheels. The only down side is they are very bussy, and it takes some time to get done. There staff is good and knows what they are doing

I am using NTB in Annapolis (next to Home Depot) for the past three years. Used them when I had the Camaro as well. I got to know a couple of the young guys and they always done a good job. Got them to put on and off the run flats when I had only S-Lite rims. I go there for repairs and so far so good. Need to take ther GyPsy soon as left rear tire is loosing air .
