Recommendation Request - Good Boston Tire Shop?

Recommendation Request - Good Boston Tire shop?
I need to get 1 run flat tire replaced and need to find a good shop that will mount the tire. Note, I am assuming I will buy the tire from Tire Rack and then have someone mount it because the tires are much cheaper on Tire Rack. I am looking for a shop that has experience mounting RunFlat tires and is willing to mount tires that are not purchased through the shop (or if there is a shop that offers a decent price on runflats...). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Note - I live in Brookline but work in Framingham so anywhere around either of these areas would be great.

Just go down to Town Fair and tell them how much they have it for on TireRack.com. They will match the price of the tire plus delivery - which I believe in your area should be around $13 USD.

For example - they brouht my Pirelli Euphori@ from $279 to $191. Yeah!!

Tire Rack will have a list of recommended installers in your area at checkout. You can even have them deliver to the shop saving you the trouble of transporting the new tire.

I buy all my tires at Tire Rack (just ordered four Yoko summer tires for my BMW) and have them shipped to a local shop as LePew mentioned. However, if you have a local dealer that will match the price - go for it! I've always been pleased with the Rack, and last year my daughter totaled a car after I had orderd new tires for it - Tire Rack arranged the pickup at the shop where they were delivered, just for the original shipping charge. In today's market you have to love great customer service! (It certainly seems to be the appeal of MoP).
