| cheapest place in Vancouver to mount tires
Hey so I'm looking for the cheapest store to mount tires onto rims. I'll need to dismount and mount two sets of tires and they're for a 2010 s4 both sets 19" tires. I've already tried jacks mobile service and sorta(?)- the rs sponsor- and both are going to cost me over 300 for two sets. Any help would be appreciated and I've already done a search on rs Posted via RS Mobile |

wow, iv never heard of anyone paying $150 to mount a set of tires before.
Something like 19" wheels are usually around $20-$25
Try volco?

maybe mount was wrong word. I meant to put my summer tires onto my bbs rims and the winter tires on the oem rims. Not just putting new tires wheels on

i just take it to costco..
15 to install , balance a tire for one wheel.. they fill your tires with nitrogen.
but i have had great experience with volco on bridgeport
most likely you have tpms as well.

Why not take it to Brian Jessel Autohaus?
Their price might be a bit more expensive....but you'll get more better service + peace of mind.

Rofl what a fucking shitty rip off sponsor.
Dumbest thing to do to pay any premium to mount/dismount tires unless you have expensive aftermarket wheels. Stock alloy wheels I honestly don't see anything can go wrong unless you go to someone's backyard shop lmao. $300 what a joke, tell them to fuck off.

Yeah that sounds weird, Sorat charged me $80 to mount and balance, then again no dismounting required but yeah try speed syndicate then. The avg rate for winter tires was $80 at most places to mount and balance, that's what DHP charged me (actually $75 IIRC), give them a call, they have good service and an xbox  | |

dont cry when your wheels get scratched...
19's are around $35 each.
$5 extra for reverse mount
$5 extra if u want fancy valve stems
even more if u want it road force balanced.
$25 extra per wheel if u stand around and watch me do the work like an eagle over my shoulder

I paid $20 a wheel when I did my 33's last week. Excel Tire Center on St. Johns. They've always treated me well.

I just dismount the summer tire and mount the winter tire on couple hours ago (long story...) actually $80~$100 is pretty reasonable for 4 low profile tires considering it took 1 tech about 1.5 hours plus all the shop supply like valve stream, weight (yeah it costs money too!). and of course the shop needs to have the right machine for bigger wheels. Then you need a good balance as well...putting all together actually the shop isn't making much off you even though $300 for 2 sets is a bit too much...

Sorat = epic lulz.
I've encountered tires/wheels from them that aren't balanced properly on more than one occasion......dunno what kind of monkeys they have working there but they don't seem to bright.
