Where to get tires mounted in our area?

[JSLeach]

Charlie, based upon the experience of a local Boxster owner and friend, who had a real horror show with tire replacement (details later), and multiple postings on the PPBB, an absolute requirement is use of a Hunter dynamic balancer. Then it's a matter of the installer being aware of our fastidiousness with the cars and the expense of the wheels. I might even go so far as to work out some sort of guarantee with the shop manager to properly restitute damage to a wheel, vis a vis, REPLACE it -- that should serve notice that these aren't PepBoys specials.

Since I haven't yet had to change tires on my B, I don't know of any shops firsthand, but I'll ask my NCR colleagues for their suggestions.
