No one wants to install my new 315/70's!

So far, the Walmart tire center, and a Chevron station won't install my tires that I bought from tirerack.com due to "liability issues. " That's what this world is coming to. They must be afraid that I will sue them after I run over someone because these tires are so big.



I'm going in late to work tomorrow to try and find another place that will install them.

My local tire dealer said that many of the on-line places have approved installers throughout the country (he is one of them). So you may be able to find a willing tire dealer through the place you bought them.

There should be a Goodyear or something nearby that would install them for you. If you don't have any luck, pm me and come to Lexington--I work at an S&S Tire in Lexington, KY.

Around here, most tire installers won't mount tires larger that 2 sizes larger than stock on the vehicle.



So I take the wheels off and put the in a different truck, go have them mounted then take them home to my truck.



It is a liability issue.



I also tell them two sizes means big and BIGGER!!

I don't know if you have NTB's in KY, but that's where I usually get my TireRack.com tires installed. They've never given me ANY Flack. I saw in another post that a guy said tirerack had approved installers. That's also true, just check their website. As a matter of fact, most of them will list prices to boot.



Good luck man!

I checked tirerack's installer guide, and it showed that there were none for this area.



I found a garage that did it today for $10/tire, so I'm all set. BTW, they look are ride awesome!!

Look in the yellow pages for an off road shop. They'll mount anything and I've found that they are MUCH better at getting large tires balanced than any of the tire shops.
