Default dude F*** that place you took it - and all tire places that do this ... i remember some1

at a tire shop say it was 55 to mount and balance, and the industry standard is 85, but he'll be a pal and do it for 50 each ... LOL

the standard price is always $25 to mount and balance, and cheaper than that if you can get a bro deal.

also careful on incompetent places not knowing how to mount low profile tires on rims without scratching the crap out of em

Default Pep Boys did mine

I got annoyed with all the places I was calling (including those suggested by Tire Rack). Everybody wanted $100-$120 and all day to do it. So I finally went to Pep Boys and they charged about $60 to mount and balance my Yoko Advan S4's and they had it done within a couple of hours on a weeknight.

Default Pepboys did my mounting too, but they sucked.

They scratched up every one of my new Work Emotions. The balance was so F'ed up that I had vibration in the steering wheel. On the positive side, they did it quick and cheap.

Consider yourself fortunate to have even got a response from Tire Rack. :-)
