I've been looking at tires...I need at least 2. The prices are good online, but then when you add them to the price of mounting/balancing, I found i'm not saving any money. I called one place and they wanted 35.00 a wheel to mount and balance. Who mounts your tires?
just keep phoning around, you should be able to find it cheaper than that. i take mine to my buddy at ford, costs me $0.00
if you buy tires online and take it somewhere to get them mounted, chances are they are gonna charge you to mount them
$30?? Most dealerships I know charge $11. $10 for M&B $1 for "tire disposal". I mount and balance my own tires....I LOVE my job.
Yea, I just ordered 2 Nitto NT-450 tires. 188.00 with valve stems, and free shipping. 245-50-16, V rated tire.
I buy used tires from some sketchy shop out in the country... Goodyear Eagle F1's, 275/45/17 $50 each including mount and balance... although they only have like 40% tread left.
I have a buddy who can do them for me. I'd rather pay him a few bucks than $30/wheel some places charge if you do not buy the tires from them
I either mount and balance or dad does it, costs me nothing. Were probably the cheapest place in town doing it for 25 bucks or so probably, unless we sell the tires, which then we give a discount like most places.
Most shops in my area do it for under $20 even if you don't buy tires there. I got a local shop that does it $11 a tire. Anything over 20 seems crazy high to me.
We always go to the local Tire Kingdom and flash the guy a $10 and get them mounted.If you go to the counter,then they try to pull the $40+ **** on ya.
Les Schwab, but yall arent lucky enough to have em further east than utah I believe.... One of the best businesses out there. Period. Look it up. If I had to go somewhere where you are I would go to Discount Tire as well. They have done good by me...
Sunil, don't feel like the Lone Ranger. I have the same issue (no friends in the tire business). And I dont trust some of the smaller shops (who'd do it for cash and cheap) to touch chrome rims or do a proper static balance.
man I miss being able to do all my own stuff. the last time I paid to have tires mounted, though, it was around 16 bucks a tire to get 31x10.50x15 BFG's on my Ranger...though I'm not sure if he charged a bit more for the bigger tires...
Sometimes my cat does even though he's fixed he still gets a little froggy every now and then with inanimate objects
I Bought my tires & wheels online then took them to Walmart Tire and Lube they charged me just to mount and balance the tires $8.50 a tire they did a very good job watched them like a hawk do to the fact that it is Walmart !
i mount my own. I use to work at a shop back in high school and still know the owner! I just swing in change the tires out and leave
