Went to tires plus, and they wanted 120$. Thats basically what I paid for the tires. I found this outrageous. anyone have any leads that are a complete rip off?

anyone know how to mount them here at home? they are 155/80/13, could be possible?

How soon do you need it done? I've got access to the schools stuff, but I don't have any priority for using it since I'm in the cnc program, not auto.

I fixed their tire machine, so now I pretty much have run of the joint. I just mentioned the other options because the absolute soonest I could do them would be sometime next week.

I have a manual mounter at home. I have yet to use it though, so I don't yet know exactly how well it would work. Your welcome to come and give it a try with me though. I can't do balancing though.

40 bucks is probably a better use of your time. I can only get into the shop between 1-3 and I only have class 2 days a week right now.

Yes. He can be hard to score an appointment with.


WalMart does free dismounts and it's like 10/tire to mount (if I remember correctly)
