So I stopped by a Discount Tire today to address my 2 front tires. They have some camber wear and i wanted to flip the tires on the rims. I half expected them to just say no because it is close to the wear bar, but they didn't. Well, we walk inside to get the "out the door price". So what do we think having 2 tires dismounted, turned around and remounted would cost? How about $70!!
Yeah, I don't think so. The guy was telling me that mounting was $17...$1 per inch of rim then $15 a tire for dismounting plus balancing. (Or was it $17 per wheel for dismount and mount...but that would have been $34 and over $30 to balance two wheels)
My GF had bought a set of tires there and had the old ones dismounted, new ones mounted and balanced... mind you this was for FOUR (4) tires, and it was only $56.
Yeah.... ummm no. I think i'll call GTE tomorrow.
