Headed to discount tire to mount/balance new 19'' tires/wheels

uhcoug2011 · 05-14-2010, 11:08 AM

Hey guys,

Do I need anything special done to install my new 19 inch tire/wheels on my 07 335i sedan? It originally has the 18'' 162's on the car. Just want to make sure before I go pay Discount Tire $70 to mount and balance the tires for me.

Are they going to fit without issue?

We would need more info like wheel width, offsets, and tire size to answer that question. Make sure they don't scratch up your new wheels!

do you have TPMS sensors you are switching over?

Just be sure they have experience mounting 19" wheels/tires. Mounting thin tires are extremely difficult compared to smaller OE wheels most tire shops are used to. Be sure they do the TPMS swap as well.

If you can get access to a Road Force balancer, that would be perfect.

I would avoid Discount/America's Tire. They have scratched my wheels both times I have taken my car there(different locations).
