Tires + Mount and Balance
Where would you go to get new tires mounted and balanced on new custom wheels?
The stealership? Regular tire dealer?
I am getting new wheels and tires and want them mounted and balanced correctly and not scratched.
Thanks

I got mine done by mein the family room on the wife's oriental rug. The rug kept the hardwood floors from scratching my new chrome wheels. The new tires were very easy to put on the rims. Most new tires have a mark on them that you should line up with the valve stem. I've never had tires balanced on any bike I've ever owned and never have noticed any issues.
