where to get tires mounted and balanced ?
Just wondering where you all get your tires mounted and balanced , firestone in quincy gave me a price of $150 for 4 tires and then the tire place by south shore plaza gave me a price of $200 ... the prices just seem unreal , how much are you all paying ? and where you all getting it mounted ?

I had a local tire place tell me they couldn't do my new 19" rims cause they didn't have the required hardware and their machines would scratch up the rims.
I found a place down in Tampa from tirerack, it cost about $25 a tire to get them mounted and balanced. They did a great job, no scratches, no wobbling.

woops, it couldn't have been $25 a tire. Maybe it was $20 a tire. Cause I had to buy somewhere around $40 worth of tuner lugs and the bill was under $150 total from what I recall.

need to balance
Got mine installed and balanced at the dealer for $25 each. It is a special balancing procedure due to the pressure monitors, so I recomend you do shed the $100 and do it right...

still a lot of money to get new tires especially when the OEM only last about 15K
Lets hope when you get them changed the shop has at least a little clue on changing a tire with a pressure monitor and the balancing skill they requre. No BJ or Costo for this car.
