Porsche AD or Discount Tires?

I am ready to do a wheels/tires swap, should the job be done at an AD or Discount Tires be okay? Don't want taking risk of damaging the PCCB setup.

TIA

Try RAC in Carrollton - they will take good care.

Thanks, I will, just got back from DT and their answers convinced me that they knew nothing about wheel mounting for a Porsche. The tech was clueless what a guide pin was and why it was needed.

+1 for TireRack

Order them from TR and have them shipped to be installed at a shop you have researched and are most comfortable with.

Be sure they torque to proper settings and allow the tires to break-in, approx. 500 miles before driving the car hard..
