Where to get tires mounted

I am debuting if I should buy tires online and get them mounted or should I just go to AI to get tires and mounting. I know AI is the ****z but they are far for me and are pretty expensive.

I plan to get Falkin 615s and can get them online shipped and all that for 550. However AI wants 700 for everything. I doubt mounting and balancing will cost me 150.

Any suggestion as to where to go to get them mounted?

No dismounting needed.

nobody will beat America's Tires.

www.discounttiredirect.com

The in store price is more but they will match the price of their website. Tell them tires online+shipping+NO TAX since tires are shipped from out of state+mount+balance.

When you buy tires from discounttiredirect or the retail store they charge like $10-$20 depending on time of year per tire for mount+balance+recycle old tire.

walmart is $3.50 per tire mounted. $5.00 per tire balanced. go to the Mcarthy ranch one on the 237/880 interchange. you can bring in your own tires, no extra charge.

a whopping $35 + tax. make sure they dont put on new valve stem caps on for you, because they will do it without asking and then charge an extra $1.75 per.

Hell Yeah! That's what I'm talking about.

Do they do decent work?
