[QUOTE="pat247, post: 2009625, member: 2343"] If the tire shop has a modern tire machine that utilizes plastic pieces for tire removal it can be done without removing the beauty ring. I used my local ford dealer that had one of this type of tire machineon 9+ tires and not a single scratch leaving the rings on. Tried to save money when I purchased the 3rd set of tires, went to a small tire shop to get the tires mounted, asked before hand about the rings and was assured they could do it. Long story short, they scratched and scraped all four rings and some of the bolts were damaged by wrong size bit being used. Be careful with who you trust doing the work. [/QUOTE]
