That reminds me...
What's a normal cost to mount and balance tires out here? Motorsport
Techniques charged me $80 to mount and balance four tires (gave 'em the
car & tires). That certainly seemed pretty high to me, but I've got a
tire machine back home and haven't paid to have tires mounted in recent
memory.
Is that normal? I mean, it only takes an hour for a schmuck like me to do
a complete mount & balance, including torqueing the wheels, setting air
pressure, etc! The guys that really know how to run the tire machines are
quite a bit quicker...
