Default Tire mounting & Balancing Question.

Hi~Guys

I have four sumitomo tires in my garage now.

I ordered these on the Tirerack.

Now it's time to change new tires!

I was wondering which place is the best for it.

I do not want to save money for tires, but I do not want to be raped by

store also.

What you guys think?

As I know, it costs around $120-150 for mounting & balancing & TPMS sensor

service.

Is that right?

Thanks guys!

Drive safely

im really confused by this thread but I think youre trying to ask how much it cost to mount new tires. If so it should cost like you $100-$150. Maybe less. Ive always been to shops that charge like $25 a tire/ $100 for all four.

For the places i have seen, it is $15-20 per tire and since it has TPMS... another $5.00 each... so $20-25 each?

No more then $100 for sure..

I paid 16 dollars each to get all my tires mounted (64 total). TPMS didn't matter.

120-150? Ouch.

TPMS does matter to some shops. They have to be extra careful, otherwise, they might break it...

I just had this done at my local Lexus dealer they charged me $100 to mount and balance my 20's and $105 to link and install my TPMS in those wheels. I paid $100 for all 4 Lexus TPMS off ebay.
