Sears auto said that they couldnt mount my XXR rims to my 265/35/18 tires because there machine would scratch my wheels all around when they mounted them. I hate taking my car to ppl around town they cant do squat

If you take it to discount for god sakes be careful I've had a lot of friends who have had their new rims massacred by discount. I'd rather pay a better performance shop and if they have one of the touchless machines that's even better

The thing about chain stores is that they're not really quality controlled by the chain. Each one is different.
And it can vary by which tech you get.

I had good luck with the Discount Tire on Eisenhower in Alexandria with the stock BBSs in Dec., but that's a fairly new place.
(And I think they were a little intimidated by a four day old MR. )
But they didn't have one of the Atlas machines.

(NTB on Rt1 used to be good, but has declined. Nothing blatant, except that you can be kept waiting while they flirt with the cute customers. )

You might want to check Tire Rack's suggested installers in your area, and then look at the online reviews.

Although none of the installers seem to really understand the TPMS units.
