Tire installation - Where?

Hey guys.
I bought a replacement low profile summer tire for my 18 inch rims. When I had that flat last year I bought a tire from Sturgeon tire and Install for about $280.

I need to know where i can get this tire installed for cheap. Does anyone know anyone or where to do it under the table for ca$h? Only specialty places (like kal tire, sturgeon ect..) do it b/c of the size and it has to be reverse mounted.
Please PM or email me at: aliarakos@hotmail.com

Thanx
Tony

Avoid the old independant shops as they might still use the antiquated tire clamps that ruin aluminum wheels. Places like Gas Performance will for sure have all the right equipment. Even the dealerships have modern equipment and don't charge much for tire installs. Take pics of your wheel beforehand as added insurance.

Talking Re: Tire installation - Where?

That was hilarious! But knowing me I'll end up blowing the tire up or catching it on fire.

B/c if i did it myself, I'll be the guy on portage ave in the middle lane of cruise rush-hour like traffic, sitting on the rim backing traffic up for 6 blocks, while the tire flies off into on coming traffic causing a car pileup. LOL

serious note. I also needed it balanced.
