Tire Shop Recommendation in Baltimore

As title states, looking for a shop that have ability/willing to mount and balance the 19" Oem wheels and are willing to mount used tires for a decent price. A lot of places aren't willing to mount used tires due to liability issues.

Thanks!

Gerry's tire in the city. They mounted and balanced mine with quick turn around. They are aware that some people swap tires for winter and summer. All the other shops in Baltimore are ghetto af or wont do it. If you plan on waiting their waiting area is pretty much only like 4 chairs. You could walk down to Attman's or Lenny's though for a quick bite.

Oh, if anyone is going there - make sure you tell them to torque your lugs to proper spec. Last time I went I didnt mention it and they were WAYYY over torqued... like ~130lbs + My impact wrench couldnt even budge them when typically it has no problem.

I've had this happen on multiple occasions at different places. 99.9% of the time it's because they use the impact wrench to tighten the bolts. I now usually ask for them to hand tighten with the right torque specs. Actually what happened this past weekend when I was trying to switch over my winters to summers
