Hey just curious what everyone get charged to get tires changed out. With tires already pre-purchased, the shop wanted $200 to change them out!!! Tell me this is way outrageous?

Thats WAY outrageous!! $20 mounted and balanced from my guy. He is the local Dunlop dealer at track events. I paid $275 last time and that included a 180 rear and a 130 front Qualifiers of course. Most shops charge $50 for mounting of tires purchased some where else. Go some where else.

Start mounting them yourself. Honest, doesn't take very long to get proficient at the task. Then you can buy tires on the net and bypass the stealerships

Thats what I thought... part of my problem is I live in BFE SD, not many places around without throwing it on a trailer
