Tire Rack charges $15/wheel at their Southbend, IN location. They do great work, use the proper weights, and don't make a mark on the wheels. I drive there whenever I can. Usually load the wheels up in my Explorer, and head out.

THAT is a great deal, I will definitely keep that in mind since work now takes me up that way every month or two.

I usually pay $65 cash to a guy I know who owns a tire shop for 4 mount and balances. Last winter I had purchased some pricey RUF wheels and paid one of Tire Rack's recommended installers $140 to dismount 4 almost new Potenzas from stock turbo twists and remount / balance them on the RUF's.

I don't think you got too hosed Steve.

Went to NTB for 4 new tires, in addition to the tires I received One new chunk out of the front of one wheel and one large gouge out of the back of another.

Never going there again.
