I searched under tire damage, wheel damage, Discount Tire, tire mounting, etc., but I found very little.
David, sorry I was not more helpful. The only thing worse than a leaky RMS is our search function! LOL!

My "guy" for tire work has always been the dealership. Yes it is expensive, but the work product is excellent. Road force balanced. OEM Porsche stick-on weights. Balanced to the gram.....not the fraction of an ounce.....more accurate. No drips, no runs, no errors.

This usually costs about $250. But we are talking about +$2,000 in a set of tires (on the 993 Turbo), and wheels that are worth over $4,000 (SpeedLine Daytona). So it is all relative. The rear tires on the 911 are massive!

Another thing to consider with some yahoo at Discount Tire, or the like, is dinging the shiney red paint on our BIG reds. That would suck, too.

Lastly, the tires on the Boxster last about 20,000 miles (double for the fronts) and the Turbo about 10,000. Not aweful. Price of admission.
