Default How much do tire dealers typically charge if you bring them the tires.

To mount, balance, stems...etc.

I've been shopping around a little bit and it seems like I am going to be spending $900-1000 for some decent 225/45/17's with alignmnet.

Any suggestions?

should I order tires and bring them to be mounted?

Default I got S03s from TireRack and took them to the dealer. I believe it was $12/corner - $10 off coupon.

I also picked up the chrome stems from a tire shop for $2 or 3 each.

Total spent:
$622 ($155 for 2, $156 for 2 - long story) No shipping as they were picked up.
~$40 for mount & bal
$4 to trash old ones
~$10 for valve stems
$0 for alignment since the car is under warranty.
------
~$676

Default I just had Discount Tire mount and balance two tires for me. I bought them from DTM Autohaus. I was

charged 21$ and changed w/ tax license and dealer prep. Taxes here are 8.25%.

Default Local shops around here (no national chains) charge anywhere from $17-25 EACH

...depends on whether it's a 17 or an 18. Good luck

Default $15-20/tire mounted & balanced

I think my tire shop charged me $15 for 16" wheels and $18 for 17" wheels.

Including new (metal) valve stems & stick-on weights.
