I am looking for recommendations on where to get my 19.5 tires mounted and balanced in the Seattle area and north to the border, I know it can be hard to get them balanced. So if any of you have had this done I would appreciate any info you can provide on places that did a good job.

I would recommend Phelps tire in Mt Vernon for this if you are north of Seattle. They handle a lot of big trucks and are very reasonable to work with. I was sent to them by another dealer who couldn't handle the large tires on my jeep.

in addition to LS -- Tiny's Tire, S&S Tire both in Tacoma. Or any commercial truck service center, like Goodyear in Fife.

**DO NOT go to Pep Boys.**

They sold me a set of 6 for my new truck, assured me they could mount and balance 19.5s. They took my money, ordered them, they showed up a week later.
I spent 3 HOURS there only for them to not only tell me they couldn't balance then, they COULDN'T EVEN INFLATE THEM!!! Their air chuck only went to 90 psi, I bought 16 ply requiring 110psi.

Then... they told me they found out the hard way they couldn't balance them---after they had dismounted one and did not mark the old tire to rim position. I canceled the whole thing, they put the old one back on, and sent me out with a completely unbalanced tire.

I spent another hour the next day waiting my turn at Les Schwab getting that one tire re-balanced.

This all happened a week ago......

X3 - Although all of them can, look for a shop that frequently services commercial vehicles for the best work.

Les Schwab X2. They will order any brand of tires that you want. Free retorques and rotations too. They will also sell you Vision wheels if you need some. I'm sure that if you already have the tires and wheels they will be able to get you set up. They did a great job for me, I'm on my second set. -Mark.
