I work in a tire shop and I have installed all kinds of tires. Big heavy duty tires to low profile sports tires. We have a special machine with teflon heads for the low profiles tires.
I have to install some runflats soon, something I've not done before. They are going on a 99 Corvette. The sidewalls are super stiff and barely move. Do these tires have a cylinder on the center of the rim? Anything special I need to have or do. Thanks.

No they don't. You just have to soap them up really good and be very careful. They go on really really tight.

In Australia these tyres need special rims. Jules, automotive lecturer. Australia. PS: Contact the tyre manufacturer.
