    Default Tire mount and balance shop

    Hey guys, I'm near Texas Motor Speedway and I'm looking for a trustworthy tire shop that can mount tires onto my painted FD wheels without me having to worry about them getting chipped. Any ideas?

    I'm NOT going to NTB so that's out of the question. I'm trying to avoid mainstream places because most of them won't go by your instructions.

    I'm in the Hurst area for school anyways. As long as they do a good job and won't damage my wheels I'm all for it.

    Also looking for a tire hook up too, need 225/45/16's.

    They are cheap down and dirty; it is a used tire shop. I'm not sure they would be a good fit for you.

    There is a place called Hamm's that's either in Watauga or Fort Worth (but I do believe it's Watuaga). The northwest corner of Western Center and Denton Highway, just west of the Union Pacific tracks. They've been very good with me in taking care of custom wheels. 817-605-8949

    PTP takes special care of wheels when mounting, but they're near downtown FT. Worth.

    I have also gone to Hamm's Automotive @ 377 & Western Center Blvd. for the OTM and I was treated fairly.
