Hey, all. I need to replace a couple of sets of tires very very soon now. The prices the local places are charging for mounting and balancing are just killing me, though. Any good place a CSOBONC can bring tires to? Conversely, is there a decent place willing to match Tire Rack's prices (without adding on extra "because you would have to pay shipping")?
The local Costco is now serious about only mounting tires that you buy from them. The local Big O wants $17 or $18 per tire, plus another $10 disposal fee. Ouch!! Any good alternatives?? --DD |

I found a used tire store and had them mount and balance for $50 last Sunday.
It's funny because as I was reading this post the doorbell rings... shonuff! a set of 4 Bridgestone S-03's are sitting in the doorway and a box from Tarett with adjustable drop links and swaybar reinforcment brackets. WOOHOO! Just put the last coat of paint on the enkies about an hour ago, from gold to black. Gonna let them cook in the sun for a few hours before I have the tires mounted up. I am sure I will get some gooey scratches during the mounting and balancing as the paint is still soft - oh well time's a wastin! Alignment to be done tomrrow morning Gonna head out and set the ride height after popping in the 250lb rear springs and install some grease fittings for the front bushings. |
