    Default Tire mounting and balancing?

    Has anyone got an in at a shop that can do this for a reasonable price?

    I've got a set of 4 tires off the car that I need put onto the car and balanced.

    Everywhere I called was 150 and 2 weeks out!

    Thanks

    zee tire up in the NE westwinds area will do it for $10 a wheel/tire which is super cheap. I've used him multiple times and never had an issue. most other shops charge about $15-25 to dismount/mount/balance per wheel

    I'm also not a forum sponsor, So I can't promote my shop in that way.

    but I hear Tirebob does pretty good work!

    tirebob does great work as well. he had my car in and out in 30 mins with new rubber on, even road-forced if I recall correctly. I think his shop charges $20/wheel... but don't quote me on it.

    Check out Tire Pirates down on 61st Ave (about 3 blocks from Chinook)...they do great work! Not sure of the price, but I think within your price point.

    Ask for Mike or Sergio!

    I think Daryll should be close to the $25 a tire, provided they are car tires.
