Just picked up two tires for the wife's car. Need them mounted and balanced on rims with old tires still on them. Suburban tire wants 50 dollars for both to be replaced. Anyone know anywhere cheaper?

A&L in palatine. $10 a tire for dismount, mount and balance. shop is very nice, people are friendly and they have made me happy many times with mounting on everything from weld wheels to high end forged rims.
Who do you guys use to mount your fatties? With rim screws? Was a PITA for me to find someone last time I had someone do it
$10 blows my mind...
if they pay a tech $20 an hour, they are paying him $5 in labor per wheel.. valve stem stick on weights and shop supplies would be close to $2... at $3 profit they are really making no money..
2 tires = $6 profit for 20 minutes of work
They're a body shop first, tires are just something they offer. They certainly don't take an hour to do 4 wheels either.
