Runflats?

Anyone on here that works at a shop deal with these? The only place we could find was Dobbs and they want $50 just to dismount and remount one tire.

I'd bet most places dont have the machine to do those.

I've built those by hand.. not a fun process.

Not a clue how a factory run flat works, but I had aftermarkets on my truck from the last owner. I had new tires put on at dobbs and one of them broke after they put them on while I was driving.

This last time I went to Firestone and they didnt say they would have to charge more, but then I told them to cut the bolts since I only had 3 at that point and I remeoved them, so you might give them a shot.

Also if nothing else you might go up to Hunter Enginering at Lindbergh and 70. From what I understand they will swap tires out and do some of the local sports players cars because of expensive rims and such. If anyone can do it Im sure they can or will know of a shop that does it.

well we got it into dobbs today and they took the wheel off, and apparently someone repaired the cracked wheel by welding it and the weld failed.
