Done and out the door.Originally posted by Cooter View PostMounting and balancing four tires doesn't take 20 minutes. You're in fucking Joshua. You want to spend $30 in fuel to go to some mexi shop to save $40?

One guy doing four mount/balance in 20 min is pretty damn impressive. Usually takes 2-3 guys to knock it out that quick

This. I've done a set of 33"s in less than 30 minutes, and using the airsoft bbs they will never go out of balance. I rather do them myself than wait an hour at some random tire shop.Originally posted by grove rat View Postget some tire spoons and balance them with air soft bbs(solid without the air bubble, .25g weight)
should be able to buy the spoons and bbs for less than $20. not nearly as hard as you might think. if you dont care about scratching the wheels just use long flat screwdrivers

I've mounted/balanced way too many tires than I care to admit. I wish the machines were cheaper, as I hate throwing away money having some jackass do it that doesn't give a shit. My advice to you is to remove all of the wheel weights, tape, brake dust, etc on your wheels before you bring them to whatever tire place you choose. Get the back side of those wheels as clean as possible!

Choo$$$$ choo$$$$!Originally posted by Chili View PostYeah, no way I would mount them myself to save $20 or even $40. Hell, probably not even for $60 difference.Why is that?Originally posted by MattB View PostMy advice to you is to remove all of the wheel weights, tape, brake dust, etc on your wheels before you bring them to whatever tire place you choose.

That's what I'm thinking as well. If you want it done right and don't want wheels or anything else damaged I'd just take it to Discount. I've tried to save money taking it to some shops recommended to me by friends and have gotten burned a couple of times with stripped threads or getting my valves replaced with cheap rubber ones when I had the metal ones on there.Originally posted by Cooter View PostMounting and balancing four tires doesn't take 20 minutes.

because they'll either leave them on and gouge your wheel or they'll leave them on and balance against themOriginally posted by Nash B. View PostWhy is that?
I've got a little mom and pop shop I use for all my wheels and tires. They're really thorough and do exactly what I ask them to.
First set of 35" 20's I had them mount, they charged me $80. I paid cash and told them I didn't need a receipt.
Next set was $50.
Last set was $40
I'd be fine paying $80

Oh one thing I'd like to add about why I would take them to Discount Tire over a corner shop is that if anything happens like they scratch up your wheels, break or strip a stud, or pretty much anything; Discount will take care of that. Can't say that most corner shops will do that or care much about losing your business.
