GT350R carbon wheel tire mounting in NH/MA

[Big Business]

Good afternoon,

Does anyone have any personal recommendations of Ford dealers (or other) in New Hampshire/Massachusetts who can safely mount and dismount tires on the carbon wheels?

My local Ford dealer, otherwise excellent, suggested I go to Mercedes or Porsche dealers, both Mercedes and Porsche dealers declined and directed me to ask elsewhere, I am 0-5 in my contacts so far. I asked Ford Performance and they basically just took a screenshot of Google Gemini AI results

Thank you

Go to the hunter.com website, and put in your zip code and select the revolution tire changer. Uncheck all other options. Set distance within 20 miles. Click update to find shops near you that have the hunter revolution tire machine that will keep your expensive wheels safe during the tire change. Call each shop on the list to make sure the shop actually has it before going there.

I had good luck in the past with the Hunter website for that purpose as well. That, and bribing the guy doing the work lol. To be fair they were not CF wheels though.

Excellent info @Sajin

I plugged my zip in, 17 of 20 are dealerships, none are Ford. I found that funny for some reason.

A good frind of mine is a hunter rep down here. Find a hunter shop that has the Hunter Revolution machine.
That machine is awsone. He did my new wheels , 13 x 20 and the machine wont damage them with an experienced operator.
According to him some shops will do CF but will not gaurentee against damage.

good resource, and I will talk to shops on the list, but ironically 2 of the dealers listed on the Hunter website are ones that told me to go somewhere else, including my local Ford dealer

It not right that Ford sells a product and then wont service it!

My local Ford dealer told me to go to Discount Tire because that’s where they job it out. I ended up going to Discount Tire and they did a great job.

Ha. Ya. I go to discount tire myself. They have the hunter revolution machine, so no issues thus far.

Sorry, I assumed they had stores in your location. I guess not

interesting, good to know. Apparently there are no Discount Tire locations until New York, but loads of them elsewhere around the country

Another discount tire recommend! I don’t know if my dealer has that specific machine, but they do have all brand new Hunter equipment. And if you talk to them, they’re pretty darn cool and will take care of your pieces when they know the concern. While I understand the concern with the carbon wheel, my daughter has done my brand new Signatures a couple times now and nare a scratch. I don’t go anywhere else.

The Revolution is is center clamp system. All nylon/rubber attachments and touch less.
Computerized too, it knows where the TPMS is so not to damage it.

You can go the hunter route, you can also call and ask if they have touchless machines. If they do, I'm betting they would do it.
