mounting 29/18.00/20's
I need to get some new tires mounted on my new 20X15 wheels. I am worried that even an experienced installer could damage the wheels or tires. What type of tire machine should I be looking for to ensure a quality install. I'm not really anal but after shelling out the big$$$, I want perfection! Any advice is appreciated....

I have had my local shop fit that size tire without a problem. They use a fitting machine that can install run-flat tires. It doesn't touch the rim at all, so there are no nasty surprises.

lot of wheel installing shops actually keep the slip rings from around the new wheels installed, I know I always did. and really any good tire store with upright tire machines SHOULD be able to mount without damage. Talk to store/shop managers and get their input, some will pass, some will do it and step up with guarantee. Honestly the 30s should literally fall on unless your talking some super short sidewall.
