Keep in mind that if you purchase the lifetime balance and rotation (recommended by moi), a local-yocal's balance won't help you out when you are in Bear Lake, Idaho. National TIre Warehouse and some other large chains are higher in mounting price, but available coast to coast. Some chains and local will totally screw you on the mounting/balance price if you don't buy the tire from them, so be careful. We found a price as high as $35 (US) per tire for mount/balance in the Raleigh area. We paid $15 to a local-yocal for lifetime B & R. Good luck and happy hunting, gmbulley cary, nc |
