Where?  Fred.>

> I took my pristine 16" S4 OEM wheels into a local tire shop to have the
new
> Dunlop SP9000's mounted. This place isn't your local Sears tire outlet,
it's
> one of the local heavy equipment tire outlets - transports, skidders,
> Euclids, that kind of delicate stuff.
> The guy that put the tires on handled those wheels like they were eggs. He
> cleaned up his tire machine, got out a teflon rider for the arm, very
gently
> set the rims on the machine, set up the machine with each rim so that the
> arm did not touch the rim at all, and used the machine that clamped the
edge
> of the rim, not the inside of the wheel.
> "Nice wheels", he said. "I really like this kind of stuff". > Fred Munro
