Mounting / balancing drag radials

[PaulRV6]

I am getting some MT drag radials mounted and balanced this week, is there anything special they need to do? Want to be sure since I doubt this place balances many DR. Thanks

Go when the tire shop is LEAST busy, so they don't rush and screw up your wheels & tires.

Years ago I made the mistake of going to an ordinary Firestone tire shop to get mail-ordered M&H "DOT racing tires" installed. These had very floppy sidewalls, and the gorilla running the tire machine took a big chunk out of the tire's bead. Got into a big pissing contest with the manager to get reimbursed for the damaged tire.

I haven't seen M/T drag radials first hand, but I expect they're very soft. Review it with the manager ahead of time, so he puts his smartest/ best guy on your job ...
