    Hey all,

    Swapping out my stock wheels for a set of trail teams once the roads clean up. I have a near mint set of duratracs on my stock wheels so I'm probably just going to swap the tires over instead of getting new ones. Any recommendations for a good tire shop that does a good job balancing LT tires, can swap over TPMS and won't break the bank too bad? I live in Watertown, work in Rocky Hill so western or central CT works.

    Any idea how much the dealer charges for this work?

    Not sure if its too far for you but I went to Star Tire & Wheels in West Haven. I got the same kind of thing done; they took the stock tires off of my stock rims and then mounted the same stock tires on my new aftermarket wheels. Also re-used my TPMS and reset them. They charged me $260 for the labor associated with the tire mount, balance, and TPMS reset. My tires are the stock P-Rated tires but I would assume they can work with LTs too

    I've had good luck with Joe's Tire Shop in Waterbury near Colonial Plaza.
