most tire shops charge 50-75 dollars. go flip thru a phonebook.

i would do that if i wanted to pay 100 dollars, the point of this thread is to have a beyond member do my tires for me for a CHEAP PRICE. :rolleyes:

Did you try walmart? I know it's hard to trust them, but they did a similar swap for me this spring for 63 dollars tax in. This was in Red Deer though, but i don't imagine that calgary prices would be far off that if not the same.

If you need new valves, it'll be more.

valves are fine.


nobody knows a mah and pah outfit or a shop that a friend works at or owns? im dying here, i just spent my paycheque getting the truck on the road and buying rims, i just need them mounted for a good price :P this is frustrating. canadian tire wants 10 dollars to take off rubber on one wheel, and 20 to put it on another.
