preferibly something in the Arlington area and not something that'll cost too much $$. Some places I went to wanted $45/tire!! The cheapest I found was $100 for everything, but I know costco used to do them at like 60 bucks for all 4.

Default by the time you account for "matt tax" you'd be better off getting 'em done here.
not to mention they might get lost in transit and magically appear on my car. :-)

Default Anyone have good experience with Mr. Tire? Also, who will NOT scratch my rims?
I saw on tirerack's site that mr. tire in arlington on wilson wants $25 / wheel plus maybe a few bucks disposal and stuff.

I need to put some all seasons on, but i'm

1) afraid of getting ripped off

2) afraid of them scratching my rims

I seriously don't care about the shop quality. The rims are already chopped up as it.
