Most tire shops that do primarily passenger car and light truck tires will not touch a split rim (no jokes about them being "wimps" either). Thsi mainly because it's obsolete technology, they haven't been used on light trucks in at least 40 years. So there's no need to have the equipment or train the techs to install them. Plus the liabilities. Many won't even do a tube type anymore, eother, regardless of rim type. Again, they don't want the liabilities if the tube faisl, either from improper installation from an improperly trained tech or incorrect application.
