Default Question about getting new tires mounted.

I got my 4 - 275/40/17 Yokohama AVS Sport tires in the mail from Tire Rack.
Now, I'm ready to get them mounted and balanced on my Corvette.
Can I get the weights put on the inside instead of the outside of the rims?
Is there anything else I should know before getting them put on my Corvette?
Thanks in advance

you can ask for the sticky weights, most shops carry them they go on the lip of the rim as not to damage it. I am nost sure if it is possible to put all weights on the inside only.

Tire Rack will give you the name of a place in your area that has the capability to mount your tires properly on your rims. You don't want just anybody messin' with your rims if they don't have the right equipment and don't know what they are doing.

And, yes, you can get the sticky weights put on the inside so they are hidden.

:cheers:
