Hey so I'm looking for the cheapest store to mount tires onto rims. I'll need to dismount and mount two sets of tires and they're for a 2010 s4 both sets 19" tires. I've already tried jacks mobile service and sorta(?)- the rs sponsor- and both are going to cost me over 300 for two sets. Any help would be appreciated and I've already done a search on rs

wow, iv never heard of anyone paying $150 to mount a set of tires before.
Something like 19" wheels are usually around $20-$25
Try volco?

[insomniac]

holy shit... $300?? lol

[RangeRoverTurbo]

Give Kaltire a try....

[pingu81]

Wal Mart

[hongy]

maybe mount was wrong word. I meant to put my summer tires onto my bbs rims and the winter tires on the oem rims. Not just putting new tires wheels on

[oldsnail]

i just take it to costco..
15 to install , balance a tire for one wheel.. they fill your tires with nitrogen.

but i have had great experience with volco on bridgeport
most likely you have tpms as well.

[RangeRoverTurbo]

Why not take it to Brian Jessel Autohaus?

Their price might be a bit more expensive....but you'll get more better service + peace of mind.

I got my 18"s mounted at The Speed Syndicate

[Nlkko]

$150 to mount tires is highway robbery...

[flagella]

Rofl what a fucking shitty rip off sponsor.

Dumbest thing to do to pay any premium to mount/dismount tires unless you have expensive aftermarket wheels. Stock alloy wheels I honestly don't see anything can go wrong unless you go to someone's backyard shop lmao. $300 what a joke, tell them to fuck off.

[ilvtofu]

Yeah that sounds weird, Sorat charged me $80 to mount and balance, then again no dismounting required but yeah try speed syndicate then. The avg rate for winter tires was $80 at most places to mount and balance, that's what DHP charged me (actually $75 IIRC), give them a call, they have good service and an xbox :fullofwin:

[!SG]

dont cry when your wheels get scratched...

19's are around $35 each.
$5 extra for reverse mount
$5 extra if u want fancy valve stems
even more if u want it road force balanced.

$25 extra per wheel if u stand around and watch me do the work like an eagle over my shoulder

:whistle: I'll try not to get charged next time I'm there! haha

[jackal]

and this is why i bought myself a tire machine. never going to pay for this crap again. everywhere charges so much for the amount of work and time it takes.

The Speed Syndicate

[GabAlmighty]

I paid $20 a wheel when I did my 33's last week. Excel Tire Center on St. Johns. They've always treated me well.

[Funnel]

I just dismount the summer tire and mount the winter tire on couple hours ago (long story...) actually $80~$100 is pretty reasonable for 4 low profile tires considering it took 1 tech about 1.5 hours plus all the shop supply like valve stream, weight (yeah it costs money too!). and of course the shop needs to have the right machine for bigger wheels. Then you need a good balance as well...putting all together actually the shop isn't making much off you even though $300 for 2 sets is a bit too much...

[EmOne]

Sorat in north van. The guys cool and he can usually do cash no tax

[shenmecar]

^did you even read op's post?

Sorat = epic lulz.

I've encountered tires/wheels from them that aren't balanced properly on more than one occasion......dunno what kind of monkeys they have working there but they don't seem to bright.

But vellly goooood deals there la!

[unit]

please do not go to costco or walmart to mount tires on your expensive 19" wheels
i'd be surprised if they even had the equipment to attempt such a thing.

funny we still have idiots recommending them


seriously ppl quit being so motherfucking cheap, my god


those who are rocking rotas, ya get it mounted anywhere as if it matters

but those who have $4000 +++ a set of rims, seriously pay the correct amount of money and get it mounted right.


the labor, shops time, good tire mounting machine costs $20g +, material etc.

people are so cheap these days

[hongy]

I know they are expensive rims and trust me if I could I'd pay whatever the cost to get them properly installed, balanced, etc. However I just got them taken off my all seasons, had my oems taken off my winters and then placed back into summers. All of it costing over 300$ only to not be put in a situation where I have to do it all over again. I'm just trying to save a bit of money, and yes I know when you have 4000$ rims and 70K car it's stupid to be thinking about saving money. Thank you for everyone that replied to the thread.

[gearshifter]

I recommend the speed syndicate because they handled my rims very well and are down to earth guys. Great experience there and have been going to them more than 4 times already.

150 a set is already a pretty fair price for 19s. if you save an extra 20-30 by taking it somewhere cheaper, thats not really worth scratching a $1000 rim is all im saying.

I don't know man... I just started doing tires about 6 months ago and can dismount/mount new low profile tires on my 15's and balance in about 45 minutes. And I'm not even that good.

[Shoei@BJAutohaus]

what do u consider low profile?

try doing 35 series runflats... eg a 285/35/20 RUN FLATS... you will want to cry!

or 285/25/20 regular tires, however on an aftermarket 20x11... you will want to cry!

[Jayboogz]

I just bought a set of michellin x-ice for 770 after taxes its gonna be put on my 2001 mazda tribute do you guys have any recommendations for where to mount these snow tires?

[Autorice]

speed syndicate. did mine in a jiffy and extremely professional work even when it was my tire's issue, they re-balanced it for free.

[hongy]

I ended up going to speed syndicate.

I've had good experience with National Tire Wholesale in Burnaby. $20/ wheel and I was mounting on 19s. Been there several times.
