A bit off topic, but how much did the UPS charges come to?

I paid
$308 Tires
$84.16 S/H via fedex(I called in and asked them to send it through fedex instead of ups)
$82.52Customs


I usually use this to calculate my stuff http://www.thefinalcost.com/shipments/calculate/

because of the shortage of staff they don't do appointments anymore so its first come first serve and they are usually booked up all day, so if you dont show up before 10am you wont be in. (fucking old people)..

basically you drop the car off and buy shit you dont need in walmart cuz you have nothing else to do since you are stuck there for a good 2-3 hours :|

beleive it or not but go to your local high school and see if they will do it in their mechanics class. it gives the kids some practice and i always make sure that the teacher is there when they do it and its freeee

I will charge you $80.00 for most sizes up to 18 inch. I am not the cheapest, but I guarantee you nobody has better equipment or experience. If you want your stuff looked after, call me up!

I just got some tires from Bob last week and the equipment is practically brand spanking new. Outstanding guy to deal with IMO. :thumbsup:

Depending on what exactly you want done i can do them for you at Kal Tire.

Do you want tires/rims taken off your car and tires replaced with these ones? Or do you have seperate rims you want these tires put on?

Depending on which one it is I can do it for you for like half the price of anyone else.

Any other recommendations for cheap shops to mount winter rubber to steelies, balance, and install?

Thanks for the recommendation. Just called them up and Anand quoted me $68 for mounting a set of rubbers onto a set of steelies, balancing, and installing on the ride.

Charlesglen Toyota is charging $80 for the same thing.

Is the $12 premium justified by going to a ''reputable'' shop?

It's $12. Who cares where you go.
I paid $120 at Kaltire to have 4 winter tires mounted.

Either one is a fair deal....
