Getting Ebay or Tirerack tires put on locally

[b*saint]

Do anyone find it difficult to find someone to put on tires they didn't buy from the shop? Or they charge you extra to put them on?

[dinanm3atl]

Not so far. Couple local shops will do it. If you are using tirerack search their install facilities. They have a list.

just got to a joe-blow shop and tell them your going to do it. they usually dont give a fuck and will let you, that way if you scratch your rims etc etc, you dont have to blow anyones thumb off.

[Burnera]

nope.
Some places won't do any warranty, but i don't care. As long as they don't beat the hell out of the wheels.

[bmwstephen]

yup,

dealt with that as well. They claim that there are liability issues when not purchasing a tire from them and having them install it...

to an extent I can see that and pity them should they use that as an excuse, but in reality, I'm just getting a better deal online

The tirerack list tho. I went to one and they are $10 more per tire to mount than if I bought their tires. They didnt give me a hard time, just they speak their piece with the price.

No problems here. I just got a set mounted on Saturday.

I always just pull up somewhere with cash and tell em to start mounting.... whats the deal...

How much do you guys pay to mount/balance all 4?

[FredK]

Around $72 for 15" tires, including new stems. More if I have to get tires thrown away ($3/tire).

i went to a goodyear place near me and they wanted like 30 for mounting and balancing per tire. i was like shit... that's almost half of what i payed for my tires. I just ended up taking it to my old auto shop and doing it myself.

[87e30]

Yeah, I thought 20 a tire was expensive. Hmmm.

[N2MYE30]

$20 per tire out the door. No problems with corprate shops.

[MrSlacker]

A little tire shop I always go to charges me about $12 per tire to mount and balance each tire. If I leave old tires there, its only $2 more per tire.

I took mine to a place called "Tires and Breaks" in the ghetto and they charged me $20 for all 4 with stick on wheel weights.
