  • Careful inspection of wheels, bead seats, and valve stems to identify damage, corrosion, or issues that could affect sealing and safety.
  • Use of proper mounting equipment and techniques to protect tire beads, avoid rim damage, and ensure a secure fit.
  • Replacement of valve stems or service kits (including TPMS-compatible stems where applicable) as part of a complete installation.
  • Correct inflation to manufacturer specifications for load, speed rating, and vehicle type.
  • Final torquing of lug nuts or bolts to the proper specification for your vehicle to prevent wheel-off or stud damage.
  • Service designed to deliver a smooth ride, long tire life, and confidence that your new tires were installed correctly.

When to Book an Appointment?

What's Covered: Tire Installation & Mounting

Standard Tire Installation & Mounting (Passenger, Light Truck, SUV)

Removal of old tires and mounting of new ones on your existing wheels, including proper machine handling, bead lubrication, and careful alignment to protect rims and tire beads.

Seasonal Tire Changeover (Mounting on Wheels)

Mounting seasonal tire sets (e.g., winter tires or summer performance tires) onto wheels, preparing your vehicle for upcoming weather conditions and ensuring each tire is mounted in the correct position and rotation direction.

Wheel Inspection and Basic Cleaning at Bead Seats

Visual inspection of each wheel’s bead area for corrosion, damage, or debris, with basic cleaning as needed to help improve sealing and reduce slow leaks after installation.

Valve Stem Replacement and Service Kits

Replacement of standard rubber valve stems or installation of service kits for metal stems and TPMS-equipped valves to help prevent air leaks and maintain system integrity.

Lug Nut Torque Check and Re-Torque by Request

Using a torque wrench to tighten wheel fasteners to the manufacturer’s specified torque, with optional re-torque checks after initial driving to verify everything remains secure.

Our Proven Process: Tire Installation & Mounting

1
Check-In & Tire Verification

We confirm tire size, load and speed rating, and that your new tires match your vehicle’s requirements and your wheels’ specifications.

2
Wheel & Valve Inspection

We inspect wheels for cracks, bends, corrosion, or damage, and check valve stems and TPMS components for wear or leaks.

3
Demounting Old Tires

Using professional tire machines, we safely remove your old tires without damaging wheels or TPMS sensors.

4
Mounting New Tires

We lubricate bead areas as needed and mount new tires using proper techniques to protect the beads and ensure a secure seal.

5
Valve & Inflation Service

We install new valve stems or service kits as appropriate, then inflate tires to the recommended pressure.

6
Torque & Final Check

After installing wheels on the vehicle, we torque lugs to the correct spec and perform a final visual inspection to confirm proper seating and clearances.

Tire Installation & Mounting FAQs

Can I bring in tires I purchased elsewhere to have them mounted?

In most cases, yes. We’ll inspect the tires to confirm they’re the correct size, type, and condition for your vehicle and wheels before installation.

How long does a typical tire installation appointment take?

For a full set of four tires, most appointments can be completed within a reasonable shop visit, depending on workload and any additional services such as balancing or TPMS work.

Do I need new valve stems every time I install new tires?

It’s strongly recommended to replace standard rubber valve stems during tire installation. For TPMS-equipped vehicles, we often install service kits to refresh seals and hardware.

Will tire installation include balancing?

Balancing is usually performed along with installation, but it may be listed as a separate service. We recommend balancing every time new tires are mounted for best ride quality.

Is it safe to reuse old tires on new wheels?

If the tires are still within safe tread depth, age, and condition limits, they may be reused. We’ll inspect them for internal and external damage before remounting.
