need wheels balanced. called Euro-Tire, Fairfield NJ. $19.99 each.
does that sound normal?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) it's been a while...when getting tires on my Toyota, mounting and balancing seemed much cheaper. I know, different, but still. |

It seems high until you consider an hourly rate. You're only talking $80 for about an hour of work. It's cheaper when you buy tires because their labor is a loss leader. Firestone did mine for $40 but i buy allot of tires/batteries from them so they know me. Also, i had my wheels off of the car for them.
