Default Mounting slicks in Orlando
I moved down to Orlando this past fall and am tracking the car down here while it’s cold up north. I’m having a problem finding a shop that will mount slicks (Pirelli DH). Does anyone have any recommendations?

TIA,
Jay

Not directly in Orlando, but try BGB Motorsport in Ormond Beach.

60+ miles for tire mounting. There's got to be something local that is closer.

Why wont the mount slick same as mounting any other tire ? even less liability because they aren't used on the road

I've run into some places that can't handle the size and offset of the tire.

My GT3 is running 335's in the rear on 20 inch wheels. Some regular (read: not track oriented) service shops can't handle that size tire.

Just my experience....
