    Thanks. I couldn't find the number for the life of me.....then realized I was typing the name in wrong.

    DUH!

    I bought Drew's RE01r's. Finally got a good set of tires instead of cheapo Korean brand. Bet the car will be totally different.

    Holy cow they want $148.xx to unmount and mount new tires.

    Looks like I'm driving home with new tires.....I can get it done here at home for $40.

    Yeah, I was going to say they are probably not the cheapest place to get it done. You can always go to BJ's and they will do it for like $9 a tire.

    And destroy your wheels in the process.

    Experience with that? Regardless if I can get done for $100 cheaper at home and I know the guys then I'll deal with the smell of tire rubber on the way home! :rofl:

    scratched all to hell in the spokes as well as around the edge from the crappy tire machine and lack of trained tech.

    I took mine to BJ's before and they did a great job. I would think Costco would do better but they will not put on tires unless you buy them there. Doesnt someone on the boards work for Discount Tire in Duluth?

    Are you sure that didn't include an alignment? That sounds similar to what I paid to have my tires mounted / balanced and the car aligned when I went there, but that was about two years ago.

    I wonder if it would make any difference that THEY sold the tires originally as well.

    Alignment is $100 there so only 48 to mount and balance wouldn't really make much sense.

    Theres no way its 148 dollars to mount and balance, it might be 48 to mount and balance...12 bucks each

    I told the girl on the phone that I did not want an alignment.

    Can someone there check for a deaf dude? Remove my wheels on car, remove tires from wheel, mount and balance provided tires, and put back on car?

    Thanks.

    Call Kieran and tell him you bought them there during the tirerack sale and need them mounted now and see what price he gives you. Or have Drew call since he actually bought them there.


    I can see them charging $148 if you didnt buy the tire there. They will rape you if you didnt origiannly purchase tires from them.

    I'll call back tomorrow unless someone wants to help a deaf dude out.

    Then just go to AllPro:) That would be the best bet since they are like 2 minutes from TS. Well, you are a retarded monkey so maybe you like driving around to save $10...
