Tire mounting / San Antonio

I just purchased some Toyo T1R's from tiredeals4less.com to replace the OEM 19s. Can anybody recommend a good place to put them on and balance in San Antonio?

I was just gonna go with Discount Tire, but if any of you have a better suggestion, please share!

Thanks

thanks for the responses; I was hoping to have it done in NW SA (Bandera/1604)...but if its worth the drive over there then I may consider that.

Any other feedback is still welcomed!

I drove from San Marcos

Also, you may consider Gunn Infiniti on I-10. They use the "touchless" mounters so as not to mess up your rims. I called and they charge $60 to mount and balance a set of tires.

Just to follow up -- I ended up going to Discount Tire on 1604/Bandera. It was $150 to mount and balance. Whatever, they seem to have done a good job.

The road noise is COMPLETELY different compared to my worn OEM 19's. Much quieter.

Get this..I got them installed on Monday. Then on Weds, I'm at the gas station and see a freakin bolt sticking out of my sidewall, close to the actual tire tread. I drove straight over there and one of the guys was like "oh man we can't repair that, you will need a new tire."

I was trippin out at the thought of rolling on the donut for a week waiting for another tire to be shipped to me.

So he says, "hold on let me go get something." He brings out a pair of pliers and a squirt bottle. He pulls the bolt from the tire, sprays water to ensure it wasn't leaking, told me I was a really lucky guy and to have a nice day.

It didn't go in deep enough to puncture, but holy hell it sure looked like it did.

Not that I work for them, but I'd go there.

I have the T1Rs on my Maxima (w/19" Rays) as well. I like them ALOT. Glad you got it done. The Max charges $75-100 per tire. And like some of the other guys have posted, I heard Gunn Infiniti is great too.
