Any suggestions on where to get some tires mounted and balanced in the Houston area?

Will be ordering from tirerack.com.

Last issue I had where a Z tire needed to be mounted and balanced resulted in a scratched up rim from NTB. Will never be going back there.

I'm tempted to take them to the dealership since I have in my head that will be safest but I thought I would check to see if there are any recommendations first.

Tell them to only use a TQ wrench on your wheels, that you dont want screatches that the air tools leave. Let a mgr. know about it, that is not a unusual request.

So just out of curiousity, where did you end up going to get your tires replaced at? Also, did they do a good job?

Just wondering because I replaced my rears at Discount and they ended up messing up the area around the lugs on all four wheels (I had the fronts rebalanced since I was in there already). They are going to send them out to have them re-finished next week, but I'm not sure if I want to trust them with the fronts when it's time to have them replaced.

Thanks!
