Who changes tires northerm MA / SNH?

I am about to buy Blizzacks from Tire Rack though need a shop with a new style tire machine (that wont destroy my 17" run flats) willing to do for a fee, any ideas?? I Live on southern NH end of RT 93 and travel between Windham and Boston on regular basis. I bought spare set of wheels and want to save the Pirelli's on them
Thanks
Chris

TownFair tire in nausha un-mounted my 16's no problem. Goodyear auto in nausha advertises that they have all the equipment to do runflats to. I checked with a local BMW dealer...they do too..60 $ per tire!!!!

I expect TownFair to have an attitude if I bring in new tires bought elsewhere, no?

I believe goodyear was on the list of places that you could have your tires shipped to for install...check their autherozed/reccomended installer list for your area. When I bought my tires, townfair tire beat tireracks price by 5%....and no shipping charges. I'm sure they makes lots more money on the labor/mounting/balance than they do on the tires...give them a call, and see what they say. I know NTB does installs for tire rack...not sure about them doing runflats though..

Maybe you can have them done at a Goodyear....like I said they are listed as prefered/authrozed installers in nausha on tirerack, and they are confirmed as doing runflats. Also if you do a post on the mass motoring board...the other one...most of us in the mass nh read that more often. I know we have lots of members in your area.

late response but I second Goodyear in Nashua. Great guys, fast service. Had my Direzza's re-mounted there and purchased tires for my two other cars through tirerack and had them installed there. no issues, no hassle, no problem. Good luck.

ACE Performance in Tewksbury, MA has a Corghi.

I've also had tires mounted at Car-risma in Lowell on their Hunter. They do a great job balancing and I've never had damage their but the Corghi should be safer for your wheels.

Dont mean to bump an old thread but I work at a family shop in Windham, and I take care of mounting balancing tires myself (among other things)

Unfortunately, no. They take a specialized mounting machine, and we just have a standard...they are near impossible to do on a standard one.
