Default Looking for shop with experience on flipping stretched tires

My tires need to be flipped. I'm running nankangs ns2. 225/35/19 on a 9.5 and a 255/35/19 on a 11. The reason I'm looking for a shop with experience is because you have to know how to dismount stretched tires so they can still be used again. I had my friend flip a pair of tires for me in the past and they started leaking. One had a visible rip on the bead that wasn't that long and the other didn't. Both of those tires have already been replaced. I don't want to have to get a brand new set of tires. Thanks in advance.

Depends on where you are from. If you're close to SF then, Impact Performance. In San Jose, Tire Outlet...see Joseph.

hi loreto!

Check out Sonic MS out in Mountain View. They can stretch for days and have the latest and most advance Tire Changers and Balancers (Hunter's Roadforce, Touchless Rim system).

My setup is 215 on 19x9 and 235 on 19x10 with no problems from tire flip or air leaks down the road..

If u r in SF, go to Faxon garage, my friend did 215 on 10 and 225 on 10.5, just Ask Wyman to do it, $20/ tire mount balancing.

Anyone know a shop in Sacramento that will mount stretched tires? I've tried America's Tires and another shop already and they refused. I think it depends who you speak to but so far no luck for me.

Trying to fit 215/35/19 and 235/35/19 on 19x9/10 which I understand is only a mild stretch.

if you can't clear that driveway, go to limitless and ask for Alex. They mount and balance for $20 also.
