Touchless tire mounting in San Antonio

[Ben Ingraham]

Are there any shops in SA that have touchless mounting? I haven't had the greatest experiences with discount tire and would rather not chance it.

There are 2 Discount Tires here in Austin that offer tire mounting using the touchless Hunter machines. The one is S. Austin off I-35 and Slaughter recently started using one. I've used the store in Bee Caves (Austin) for years that uses it and haven't had any issues. You might want to call a local DT and see if any of them have are currently using one. If not, the DT on Slaughter and I35 is only about an hour N. of SA.

Right on. Austin, for peace of mind, is worth the trip.

The Discount Tire at 1604 and NW Military (close to IH 10 West) has one of those machines, I've always had good luck with them...

Thank you for the suggestion. I contacted them and they quoted me $600 dollars to mount tires. Is that the norm around Texas? Where I lived a month ago only charged $25 a wheel.

No worries. The one in Bee Caves is $25 a wheel. I do appreciate the response though. The guy there said that they do Ferrari and other high end wheels, to me even for a Ferrari that's steep.

They don't charge extra for using the Hunter, I know that. I'll see what they charged me for mount and balance a couple weeks ago for tires I got at Tire Rack and report back.

I picked up some mint 219s to throw on in preparation for the sale, so I grabbed some Kuhmo PS91s in stock sizes.

The guy they recommended doesn't make it out to San Antonio, he has a guy here that may be able to help me out. We will see.
