Problem getting tires off? Help me!

AlexMilwaukee · 11-22-2013, 04:52 PM

Anyone have any idea of shops in the Milwaukee area that can get tires off? Haha seems like an easy enough thing to do. Went to a place called Forest Tire who International (BMW) normally sends their low pro tires to go, and they couldn't get it off. He said it was going to scratch the shit out of the wheel sif he did it. That was my 2nd place I went. They are just standard tires on the 289's. 255/35/18.

dismounting standard tires as in Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT? those are a PITA. I've had a local Discount Tire do it and my wheels were fine.

I believe they are continental extremecontact DWS. The first guy was worried he was going to break the TPMS. The second guy said that it was too "beady" I don't know wtf that means, and he barely had it pried up and said if he spins the thing, it might just scratch the hell around the whole rim.

I have mine done at acura of Brookfield... I know that's weird but a family friend works there and they have great service. They unmounted my stock rfts no problem.

Okay, will try them. I feel like any of the big dealers should have the right machine, just weather or not they have someone working it that knows what the hell they are doing. Thank you!
