Will SC install tires I didn't buy from them?

I purchased some gently-used 19" slipstreams to replace my 19" 5-spoke OEM ones.

Will Tesla SC install these for me if I make an appointment and take it to them? If so, anyone know about how much they'd charge for that service?

If not, I was worried that some tire shops / auto shops may not work on Teslas, but if that's not the case I can obviously go that route instead. Appreciate any help/tips!

If the rubber that wraps the wheels is not OEM, avoid the SC. Go to your favorite discount tire shop and have them swap it. Just be sure to stay close by when they cannot figure out how to put the car into Jack mode and strongly suggest they use manual floor jacks at the correct positions (RTM to find them).

All super helpful, thank you so much! I'm 99% sure it's the original rubber tire but I'll confirm with the previous owner just to make suuuuure.
