Well, just spoke to the P dealer and they won't mount my tires unless I buy it from them ![Mad](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
Must be the insurance requirements, these are new tires I bought anticipating a rear change, besides I doubt dealers have Michelin Cups in stock.
Anyway, I got an appointment tomorrow at wheels boutique, they're too busy today- but would appreciate any referrals for trusted places in S Fl for future reference, my scheduling is pretty volatile
I have the torque wrench and all the info/latest procedures. Unless there are new figures
444 ft/lb still the torque specs? And yes I plan on requiring it done with the car in the air, loosening and torquing-
Thnx

DIY removal/install and have the shop just mount and balance? My rears are in the back of my DD right now. Don't trust any shops around to touch the car - not even the local dealers.

Agree 100%. You are better off learning to do it CORRECTLY yourself. Much better peace of mind

I have done it 100 times on my 10 GT3.
I would be happy to show you.
I live in Plantation. Personally I use a hockey puck on the jack pad.
My name is
David......message me if I can help you.

Also tire hut off of Sunrise and 95 is a good place to get the tires mounted.
I actually have multiple sets of wheels. Some with old race tires on them.
When I get new tires I just take the loose wheels.
Again message me if I can help you.
Good luck.

Thanks guys, got it done but will probably get the jackpoint stands from now on since I already have the torque wrench.
Had to wiggle the pins with a 1/2" extension so they would come out all the way, they were sticking out almost all the way and of course nobody cared-
