Look for a mom and pop repair shop with a tire machine in a small town.
Looking to get tires mounted only not balanced

Do you have a preferred radius of search? Ha-ha, of course I kid.
One shop's balancing machine required the rims' bead width be dialed in. This resulted in perfectly balanced tires every time........for $5 each.

thanks - that dish soap rust thing I never knew. I keep a spray bottle in the garage with dish soap n water to spray tires to check if/when I have a tire go down to try to find the issue. A nail, screw or some type cut or leak. i heard Murphy soap was good stuff.
If scratching your rims is the issue i would suggest covering your tools in tape.
In the last 2 years i have been doing tire work in the driveway. 7 dismounted 11 mounted. Plus another 8 valvestems/tpms
Not related to my mounting or dismounting.
On all of my tire work were I dismounted the tires I cleaned the bead area up and either painted or sealed the bead area with clear “laquer” spray. They then set for a week before remounting.
