Default Boston area tire guy who does not mind mounting tires from TireRack?

I am in Somerville and I am looking for a reputable tire guy. Need to get a set of Advan AD08s installed on my Cayman.
My dealer (I use one in NH) won't accept tires being shipped directly to them.

I have had good luck with Little Foreign Car Garage in Waltham, right near Waverley Square. They are an approved Tire Rack installer.

I've had tires mounted at Accurate Automotive in Burlington MA not too off rt 128. They're listed as a preferred installer on the Tire Rack web site. You may even be able to drop ship there if I recall. The also have Hunter Road Force balancing if that's your preference. Aside from my Pcar, I have had them mount up several sets of tires on my Audi....all from Tire Rack.

You're welcome. They mounted a set of Yokohamas on my Mini last year, and just did a set of Hankooks on my 996 last week. They actually take the trouble to index the tire on the rim to maximize overall roundness -- I have not had anyone do that before. The results have been great.
