I'm looking to get new MPSS's on my newly refinished 993 turbo twists. Anyone know a shop who can do a good job putting on the tires and balancing without scratching the rims? And avoid jack damage to the body? Thanks.

 

I recommend Simply Tire (http://simplytire.com/contact.php). Talk to Zookie there. No affiliation etc...

 

simply tires uses jack, I don't think they have a lift ??


Tires23 has lifts

I recommend Simply Tire too.

I had a set of hollow spoke 993 twists that were newly refinished as well taken there to mount MPSS's as well. I was worried before, but they did a great job and didn't damage them at all.

 

Whoever you choose for installation.
Take a dozen pictures of your freshly painted rims, before you hand them over to the installer.
Have an open discussion how perfect they are before work commences.
I remember taking my brothers fiat X1/9 Campagnolo wheels up to my favorite shop. Trying to s t r e t c h a 5o series over the 13 in rim. Stupid wheel came off the machine and shot across the shop, over two bays and hit the garage door. No damage, no one hurt.
Now I always ask my installer if they are insured for damage.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. Appreciate it

There is a X1/9 that parks on my street a few times a month. Wonder if this is the same one? Looks like a fun little car.

 

+1 to tires23, owner and the techs have p-cars. Had multiple rims and tires mounted without issues.

-1 to Simply tire. They stripped my titanium nuts by taking them off with a gun. Refused to apologize or offer recourse.

edit: Aluminum nuts and Allen from Simply PM'd me to make it right. Appreciate that, retracting statement above.

 

red, with a white stripe, and a huge snorkel over the back? That's it.

 

Yes! I'd love to bump into him and get a tour.

 

Tires23 also has more expensive prices... lol

I get my tires from SimplyTire as well... and recommend OP go check them out. Their prices are usually competitive even when I consider ordering from American retailers.

 

I usually get 3-4 sets of tires from Tires23 every year. Their prices are really good, and service is top notch. It also helps that they know the proper procedure for dealing torquing centerlocks. Definitely the go to place for people on the west end.

 

Braiden Tire or Kipling Tire are both good. They repaired/replaced the rear on my car (325/30/19). Both shops were very careful.
