Default Mounting R Comps in metro NY Area

Any suggestions for places to mount R comps in the metro NY area?

I already have them (bought from tirerack a while ago, on sale) and they are 205/50/15 Kumho victoracers.

The last place that mounted up a set of hoosiers was a sport-tuner type shop and complained about the stiff sidewalls and doesn't want to do them again, even though they got it done without any damage.

SO, suggestions?

thanks,
Adrial

Theres Phils tire service in Cragsmoor, NY which is about 1.5hours n/w of the city. Hes a PCA guy who can heat cycle/shave for a very reasonable rate and hes a really nice guy!

Thanks.

That's a little farther away than I was hoping, any other suggestions? Anything NY, NJ or CT could work.

Fairfield County Motorsport in Fairfield CT. They have been mounting my Hoosier's, Yoko's and Kumho's for years. They are mounting my Michilen Slicks for my Cup car today.

Adrial,

Bring 'em down to Speedwerk-NY in Nyack. I think you've been there before. (Deman's old location on New Street).

Come down to Philly. After doing lots of Pirelli slicks, I can pop those suckers on easy.

Victoracer 50/15's ? LOL...whoever bitched about mounting them was a wuss.

Any shop with a machine made in the last 5 years should be able to mount them in a flash.

Leave them out in the sun for a few hours...they're easier to mount when they're warm. Cold tires = teh suck.

Yeah I was really surprised they had issues with a 205/50/15 ... not exactly a wild size.

Thanks for the suggestions. I might take ya up on that Larry.
