Walmart will mount tires, as will Les Schwab. Just bring in the wheel, and buy or bring a tire with you.

I had Schwab tell me once that I had to purchase 4 studded tires for my front wheel driven van. I went home, brought them two dismounted wheels and bought two studded tires.

I had a kind of worn tire that I needed fixing. Was told it’s too old/worn.

I had brought it in on the rim and said, “its for my farm trailer” OK, fix it, its for his farm trailer.

Also, the DOT stands for Department of Transportation. And the collection of numbers following it used to be referred to as the “dot” numbers.
