Default SE- MI (Clarkston) where to mount/bal tires

Bought a set of Z16 rims for my 02 Z06, and want to switch tires onto the new ones.

Where do you recommend I have this done? Near Clarkston or Grand Blanc areas...
I would like the shop to have a nice non-contact tire mounter & a Hunter 9700 balancer.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Fish

Check out this link. It should help you locate shops which have a 9700.

AC Tire on Dixie Highway in Waterford, MI near Clarkston. 248-623-6900 Mike will take good care of your car believe me I've taken mine there for rim changes oil changes (he lets you bring your own oil in and get right in with the tech who works on your car) They treat you well. Mike's father owns a Yellow C5 vert. They also have a high performance room were the can do just about anything. Tell him Tom Pump sent you.

Almost forgot they also installed my x pipe on my corsa's.

Will have to check out AC...

The Belle tire on Dixie wasn't the best place to go a few years ago. I bought a set of tires for my truck off the internet and took them there- It took this one idiot an hour and a half to dismount the old tires and mount the new (1 set of 4)... on top of that, they put the tires on backwards ("outboard side" went inboard). I turned around after I noticed the error when I stopped to get gas- at least that time someone else "re" did the job in about 30 mins. I don't think they had a hunter- its been too long.

Yes, this is the guy I was referring to. He is a great guy and I'm sure he will help you out.
