There is a place that does it for, I think, $30 or $40. bucks....
I will find out for sure. I know it is cheap.

Includes Mount, Balance, new Vaulve stems.

It's on Montery Hwy. Between Tully Rd. and Capitol Expressway.

I'll get more info...I will be going there soon.

It is called "Kalderon" (sp). They charge $15.00 each tire. I'll send you a PM with some info to get that price. It's a "player price"

Calderon sucks. I had my summer tires mounted there and I brought them back twice for balancing. The first time they mounted the tires, they put them on the rim backwards. They never did get it right - the car still shimmies at speeds over 50-55 mph. I know it's the tire balancing because my winter tires are smooth as silk all the way up to, well, let's just say they're good well past the speed limit.
I'm going to shell out the extra coin and get them re-balanced by a decent shop very soon. As soon as I get around to taking off the Nokians. I'm just not willing to admit that the boarding season is already over!

Edit: I just remembered the manager told me my brake pads were shot when I was there. That was 10K miles ago and the pads still have plenty of life left in them.

one more reason to to use wally-mart is that the warranty is good for any wally-mart.

so on like a long trip, you find shimmy, you can pass by any wally-mart, flash your receipt and they will rebalance for free...

Bummer, I just spend $60 to have mine mounted and balanced. Will Walmart mount and balance if you don't buy the tires there?

I'll try to stop by to find out. I do know I'm going to have to buy a new set of tires for one of my Porsches.
