			UG! My usual tire mounting shop (that do the hard tire installs my machine can't handle) is telling me they can't fully mount my 215/40/16" V710's. They can get them on,but they won't inflate.Even with a bead blaster ring and a cheater tank they won't catch onto the rim. I had the exact tire on these rims so I know it's possible, and Kumho says a 7" rim is fine for the tire.(Tire rack did them new)
Anyone know of a place somewhere close to central Ma that can do tough tire installs? Most places I have called will not touch a tire they did not sell.
I really don't want to have to buy a $6k tire machine to do a few special tires every year.

			Not sure how "central" it is, but Lester's got a shop in Marlborough.

I'm pretty sure he does tires.

			GREAT! Thank you.I will give him a call. If he's as good a tire mounter as an instructor these tires are as good as done!

			If he doesn't, Chang at FunHondas in Maynard does all of mine.  He's a hardcore autocrosser and has pitty on us racers.
