Default Place that'll swap tires

That's right folks! I need some suggestions for a place that'll swap my tires from my current wheel setup to my new wheel setup. The lowest price I got from calling around was Goodyear in Foothill Ranch. I asked America's Tire Co., and Discount Tire Centers as well. Anyone got other suggestions? I prefer somewhere near Irvine, but open to other suggestions. Thanks!

Try city tire. www.citytireonline.com I go there for all of my tire/wheel needs as they are very careful with the wheels in terms of demounting and mounting. Not a scratch on my works after going there countless times. Plus their prices for tire mounting is DIRT FRIGGIN CHEAP!!

i have a place out here in riverside that could do it a decent bit cheaper, and as long as you use a spec. guy you'll get a flawless job too

it's a bit of a drive for some though.

$20 bucks is the going rate unfortunately. cuz they remove/mount/ balance.
i heard walmart in foothill will do, not sure on price tho.

i wouldnt go to discount tire centers in LF, they scuffed up my Volks and I had to get them repaired. Just Tire at Laguna Hills Mall has never damaged my rims, so I am going them when I need to rotate my staggered set up.

Thanks to these older threads...stopped by City Tire for the flip. In-out in about 30 minutes. I slowed the process down because I prefer to keep the wheels on their respective side of the car due to the road debris wearing the finish on the spokes. Each wheel was on-off-on the mount machine twice. Even so, he charged me $15-per wheel. Great deal!

I didn't look at the gear though the website lists these:
Hunter TC3500 Tire Mounter
Hunter GSP-9700 Road Force Balancer

another recommendation for tire central, they take good care of your rims and the price cant be beat. Well maybe it could but its pretty damn cheap
