Where do you get tires installed? I've called 4 places so far in the SLP area and the cheapest one is Morries Mtka at $100. Is that the new normal? I swear the last time I had tires mounted a few years ago the going rate was $50.
I'm guessing you're in Saint Louis Park. I got four S-04 Pole Positions installed last spring for about $70 at Heartland Tire in Spring Lake Park, right by the high school. They did an honest job and didn't scratch my freshly powdercoated wheels. Then again, I bought the tires from tirebuyer.com. You can get free shipping by having them shipped to one of the local installers on their list, but they also have ratings and prices for the listed installers, which is how I came across Heartland. I'd go back when I need new tires installed.
Cool I will check them out. So far I've talked to Samaritan Tire, D&D Auto Works, Discount Tire and Morries.
Thanks for the replies. I'll give a summary in case anyone else has the same question. These prices are for mounting and balancing. The Alignment Guy: $60 Heartland Tire: $80 NTB: $80 Minnetonka Subaru: $100 D&D Auto Works: $110 Discount Tire: $135 Samaritan Tire: $140
Discount Tire donates vast sums of money to oppose Cannabis legalization nationwide so DONT SUPPORT THEM! That is all.
also Jeff is a one man small business so that coupled with is great prices and service wins me every time.
