...where do you go to get them mounted?

I am looking for suggestions for a nicely priced establishment where I can get them mounted for around $10. a tire.



Am I living in a fantasy world, or is there a place such as this that exsists?

maybe, if u bought rims at the same time.

I usually go to a discount tire center or something similar. It's not too much of a discount no matter where u go.

I used to run a wheel/tire/suspension shop and we mounted and balanced tires for $10. What kind of wheels? Make sure that whoever you have do it, knows what the **** they ae doing if you have custom rims, some places don't. Certain wheels have certain ways to be mounted. But my shop is in Missouri....along way from "North Caroliner" as you locals call it.

my bossman tells me of a place that will mount and balance, but I'm not sure at what price, but then you get free tire rotations and balancing for the life of the tires (even if you didn't purchase them there)



I don't have a name, but try to find a place like that! Just sit down with the yellow pages and start dialing
