what kind of wheels you trying to mount, hey I don't see a problem unless they don't know what the hell they are doing, how much are they charging you to mount tires?

around $45 for all 4 wheels for mounting and balancing. any body had any experience with Wal-Mart? or maybe it's better to take it to a custom rim shop(they r expensive )?

They use the same equipment...only thing I would be keen on is them scratching rims and putting directional tires on correctly.

Aside from that...its like ******* up a wet dream; hard to do.

i work at wal-mart tire lube express..after the promotion, i found out a few things. with our tire machines are the same. its just the experience of the techs. there are certain techniques when u mount hard tirewalls or 45 series tires and below. on another note, go there when they open. techs are happier at work in the morning, rather than mid day when we get slammed.

lol..whenever i have customers stare at us work, we get uncomfortable for some reason. like how u wont want someone stare at you eat your food. i always tell irate customers this. "if you think we are gonna **** up your ****, then why dont you do it yourself."

I HATE IT
