Default tire shop in NJ

Hey fellow NELOC-er's

I am getting for my very first time, aftermarket stuff for my car...

Now I'm running on a low budget and I am looking for a place that can take the tire off my OEM rims, install my TPMS, and mount everything on my new rims for me. I was wondering if anyone here have experience with a good shop that offers good service for a good price?

I looked around and some people were charging almost 100 per wheel? WOW, if you dont have any recommendation can you guys tell me how much it cost you to mount new tires?

Thanks, when everything is in and installed, I promise pictures

I am in Hillsborough 08844, its kind of near Rutgers University. The place where I am getting my springs installed is a good 56miles away so I'm okay with traveling a bit if the service is great and recommended. 100 miles on one way trip would be a little too much though

Wowitztai, thanks bro.. I already set up the appointment for it and the price is very nice, like the prices those peeps at the west coast are getting for their spring installs. Does your boy do tires too? Cuz I really need some good pricing on getting those installed.

Thanks PLatano, youre such a big life saver, I shot Joel an email last night so I'll be waiting for a reply. Your friend Jae told me that I can usually get all four tires installed for about 50, so far I'm having no luck with such pricing lol.

Yo GS400, is that a lot? I called up a local shop yesterday and they said they can do each tire for 20 which was good, but then they are gonna charge me the same amount just to dismount my OEM tires so I can get my TPMS out -_-

Well if you willing to take a trip the spot I always use just installed a fellow CL members - mount and balance for a total of $60 i believe. Not sure how much more the TPMS will be but If I pass by there I'll ask.

Yeah.. everywhere I called the best price I can get is 60 and Im fine with that, but the thing is they are charging me for another 60 to dismount my tires from my OEM rims so I can get the TPMS out, thats so much bs though... and they are telling me that its because dismounts are harder.

Right now I'm leaning towards getting the cheaper Kumho summer tires from the retailer that sells me the rims since they will balance it, mount it, provide the hub rings, tuner lugs all for free if I get the tire and rim combo. Then I'll just spend the 60 on dismounting the tires

i did the dismount from one set of wheels and mount tire on another set and it was about 60 for everything. I'll PM you the number when I get a chance and you can call and ask.
