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 ?

 

try tirerack.com - they have recommended installers, look for one in your area. Then call around for pricing.

 

thanks for the info dude , but its weird ... called around every where , some say that can't do 18" and some are charging 190-200 , cheapest I got was $135 with lifetime balancing 8/

 

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.

 

weird lol , looks like the tire shops around here suck , either that or they don't like me 8/

 

nvm , just got my friend to do them for me free ..

 

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...

 

I don't think I am going to keep the tire sensors in my rims , cause I am mounting pirreli p-zero's onto the stock rims and using them for winter so I don't ruin my rims.

 

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.

 

BJ and costco can't balance 18's anyways , atleast not the ones around here
