Does anyone have the balancing machine and equipment/ know how to mount tires?
I'm getting new tires, they are cheaper online, but most places will charge $50 per tire to mount which negates the online savings.
I'll buy the beer! :cheers:

Have you gotten prices from various tire shops? I doubt anyone has that machine in their garage. I'll be surprised if someone does.

Exactly the same reason I got my tires from TownFair tire locally.... Overall, they gave me the best deal vs online stores.

20 bucks for mounting and balancing per tire.

I got a quote from a local NTB, said "about $50 per tire". Ron's tire in Framingham gave me a decent price overall.
I thought it might be worth a shot though.

You can mount your tires with a couple squirts of starter fluid......
