    Default Cheap tire mount and balance?

    before i moved here, i used have a "tire guy" who had a tire mounter and hunter balancing machine in his garage...would charge 60 bones to mount n balance a regular set and 80 for a lo-pro set.

    anyone able to recommend a good "tire guy"??? i got a set of 195-50-15s that need to be popped on. also pretty picky about my shizz being balanced well.

    i also found this on kijiji:

    Screw that "cheap" crap. Take it to UrbanX and have it done right. Then if you ever have problems, you just stop by and they fix it for you. Customer service and benefits FTW.

    Zee tire might have issues with low pros. I had to wait for an hour while they had other people in line... only to have them tell me they couldn't put the tires on my 944 because their machine couldn't do it.

    Ended up at Urban X.

    Lots of places around Calgary will scratch the shit out of your rims, incorrectly balance them, lose your wheel centres and then deny it and tell you to get fucked.

    UrbanX has premium mounting systems and take care not to damage rims. Plus they look after their customers. Very competitive pricing too, give them a call OP. There is a reason people recommend them so strongly.

    Bob has done a few of my wheel sets over the past few years never a scratch or blemish and perfect balance every time.

    Urban all the way

    Even though they're cheap wheels, you still want them balanced properly.

    I am officially part of the converted. I went to Urban X in the south for the first time 2 weeks ago, I would never even bother wasting my time at any other tire shop. Gary and the crew are absolutely top notch!!!
