Who mounts low profile track slicks central ma?

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.
