I called 2 shops here in town and each want $8 to mount & $8 to balance. Daaaaauuuuuummmmmm that is going to add up! That's $64 for you guys who couldn't get the final numbers

Does that sound right?

I guess this is where a wheel / tire package is a better deal

Then I got to get some lug nuts

Wheels are 16" Rota C8's (gunmetal)

You think that's bad? Try $117 + tax in Leesburg VA. A freind of mine wanted to get a set of 16" Focal wheels and 215/55 tires mounted and balanced for his Eclipse and that's what they quoted him

my friend knew this bum at NTB ******* ghetto fro man who wanted $20,

deepnite

the price of shipping , mounting and balancing is what keeps me from buying my tires from tire rack

skunk2unerz

I'm finally ready to get the Kumho tires mounted to the Rota C8's (tommorrow)

What are you guys paying for a lifetime balance? The shop here said $125 to mount the tires to the wheels and lifetime balance (whenever I want to have them balanced). I'll be doing the rotation and mounting to the car since shops like to use impact guns on the wheels

If it's $8 a wheel = $32 each rotation

After 3 balances (8-9k or 9 months of driving) the lifetime balance will start to work in my favor when you consider the intital mount to the tires and balance

I've never had a tire go out of balance after the initial mounting.

I go to a shop in the desert (near my gf's place) that charges $10 a wheel to mount and balance.

So, you just rotate your tires and never re-balance them?

Right, I would only re-balance if I felt vibration or some other symptom of imbalance. That hasn't happened to me yet.

I was looking for a place to mount my tires and costco was reccommended so i went there, but they only accept tires bought from them.. sucks..

damn thats expensive. I just mount and balance them in my auto class.

AzntaggeR

the sears auto center here charges roughly $20 per wheel for mounting and balancing. so i'd say thats' about right.
