I just purchased a set of white s-lites and some falken 512 tires and need to get them mounted. I am a little concerned about making sure the finish is not harmed in the mounting process and was going to have the mini dealer put them on but I noticed that discount tire offers life time balance and rotating when you have them install.

Any one have experince with them and how they handle the wheels and tires and of course your cooper?

Thanks

Go to the tirerack.com site and they have a list of recommended
installers by zip code...see if they are on it and read reviews.

Just call up local shops and see if they have a touchless tire mounting machine. It's not really touchless but nothing but rubber comes in contact with your rims. I had Tire Kingdom mount my tires onto my $1200 Kinesis rims in Florida.
