Going to Discount tire tomorrow

Ordered a set of NITTO 555 EPs for my 99 vette, and going
to get them installed tomorrow. Can they deal with jacking up
my vette without F-ing it up, or should I pull the wheels and
just bring them.

In my opinion, better safe than sorry. If you have to ability to pull them and drive them over in another car/SUV, you won't have to worry and wonder if they'll crack your rocker panels...

Had warranty work done and I gave the mechanic my homemade jacking pucks. He thought they were the coolest things. Makes me wonder how much damage they've done to rocker panels in the past.

I also bought the Nitto's (2nd set) I had the mgr. at Discount do the install (on mag. wheels) He was very carefull, no problems at all. The lift they use (in Ca.) has padded rails that contacts the bottom of the car on both sides. I do have EE frame savers, so that probably helps a bit.
