R56 Big O Tires would not mount my Mini tires
Big O Tires would not mount my Mini tires
Big O in Alameda would not mount my new Hankook Ventus tires from Tire Rack. I talked to Brian and said "We do not change the "Run Flats" to regular tires because they were not engineered for that car". Me being a Senior Mechanical Engineer.... Change in Center of Gravity, Un-equal distribution of stresses, material deformation under torque applied. Hmmm. I brought my Mini and tires to a shop in Oakland and they mounted them.
No more free donuts from Big-O. No more business for my two cars either.

Strange indeed. Big O here in Victoria has done all kinds of non factory spec work on my car without hassles. Sway bar, a variety of wheels and tires, spacers, coilovers, control arms, etc. They're been great.
Tire Rack has a list of affiliated installers on their website, find one close to you, and you can be confident that they'll happily mount your tires.
Big O bites the big one. I'd avoid those knucklers at all cost.
