Anyone know some less expensive places to have a set of tires mounted and balanced ???preferrably in the eastbay area (vallejo(rich ,pablo)or maybe even marin or east county? Toscalito wanted to rip me - 80 for 2, sears wanted 50 for 2. I'm aiming for more like $25 for 2....

I'm biased seeing as I work at Americas Tire, But most shops are small for a reason. They suck at what they do. They cant balance worth a shit, and most of em sell fucked up used tires I wouldn't use for a tether ball pole. If you have tires you want to be installed on your vehicle, its $16 per wheel mounted and balanced THE RIGHT WAY. Any Americas Tire/Discount Tire store.

Short answer, Yes. You can probably get a 215 on there. It will look dumb as hell though.

I thought it was 10mm in either direction ,safely.so if it starts at 245mm wide you can go 255 or 235 and be ok.

My guy charges 10 a wheel for mount and balance here in sac... Don't matter what size or type of wheel or the type of weights your car needs ... Small tire shops = small overhead, mounting a tire and balancing it isn't rocket science ..

I think walmart is pretty cheap, but the tire must be a certain tread depth for them to legally mount it.
