I bought mine locally from a friend and I helped mount them. If you walk in a tire shop with a brand new set of tires that you want mounted, they aren't exactly willing to bend over backwards to make sure that they don't knick your wheels. I personally think it's best to buy the tires where you're going to have them mounted so they take care of you.

I bought mine from a dealer on Ebay.

I remember when the Tire Rack had them for about $150ea. To bad we all didn't buy up enough for later.

You have to be careful with E bay deals. Often times they are old tires (out of date) and most tire shops will not mount them. Ask me how I know! Keep in mind these tires have been around 10 years now

You have a tire machnine? I have a new respect for you, LOL! Seriously, these big reverse rims / low profile tires are such a pain in the ass to mount, I would never want a tire machine. That is $100 bucks I gladly pay

around here its impossible to find a place that will/can mount tires without trashing the wheels... they simply wont even attempt it, they would rather make their money doing trailer tires. as much as mounting up tiny sidewall tires on big wheels sucks....i would rather be doing it than trusting it to some $7/hr flunky that just wants to go on break.

At the rate my build is going a new tire will be out of date and dry rotted by the time it sees the ground. LOL
