Thread: West side tire installation

  1. #1

    Default West side tire installation

    I noticed a thread not long ago about the high price of DT for installing tires on new rims.
    Since i will be needing this done right away I am wondering if anyone knows of a place that can do this on the West side and have the answers to some questions I have about the TPMS.
    I am planning on removing the TPMS sensors and using regular valve stems.
    p.s. got the rims in late yesterday but haven't had a chance to weigh them yet.

    Don't know what your question about TPMS is, but many people can't stand the light, so they install all 4 TPMS sensors in the spare (drill extra holes), or they create a 4" PVC "bomb" with the sensors installed on to it, then fill it with air.

    You should have no problems with regular valve stems. I switched my TPMS from the stock steelies on my Yaris over to aftermarket wheels, then put rubber stems on the stock wheels, and have had no problems on either.

    I'd try the NTB in Weatherford.

    I dont mind the light but dont like the TPMS, no spare.. so i will just have them removed and sell them probably.

    LOL, NO! to the NTB

    I went to a DT store the other day. They only had 2 cars in the bays and non waiting in the parking lot. I think that shows how slow the economy really is.


    I would pay a little more for a DT mounting on a low profile tire setup. I think they would stand behind their work if their was a mess up.

    You know the black cloud issue.

    I also thought about bringing my 2x4's and jacks, taking the wheels off 2 at a time and having them do the rest to be sure they dont screw up my car.

    Have you got the rims yet? Have you weighed one yet?

    I saw your stock ones are for sale. Don't you want to keep them to put back on the car when you sell it?
