I went through Tire Rack for my tires, now I'm stuck calling around for prices to mount and balance. I've gotten $54, $56, $68, & $72 so far. Is this about right, or do I keep calling?

Some shops break it down differently. The cheapest around here is pep boys. It's $9.99 to mount & balance per wheel. Valve stems aren't standard and run $1.99-2.99 each extra. I wouldn't trust the ones around here though.
I just had my race tires mounted and balanced locally at a half-way decent shop. They were $65 or so. They broke it down like this... $7.50 a wheel to mount and dismount so $30 total then 7.50 a wheel to spin balance so another $30. Then they charged me a $4.XX shop supplies fee. I thought $65 was high but I was in a hurry to get them mounted. Look for a shop with a hunter balancer that puts a load on the tire when it is balanced-supposedly more accurate. |
