looking for a place in the south hills to mount tires

[crusher101]

just looking for a place that will take a relatively small amount of cash in exchange for mounting 4 tires. not looking for anything special just need my snow tires thrown on my 17 in wheels for as cheap as i can get it. anyone know a "guy"

Walmart isn't too bad. That's where I get a lot of my stuff done anymore. My good friend works at a tire place and would do them for me for free, but it's not really worth the hassle since Walmart is right around $10 a tire I think. I reserve that favor for something I need to be handled with care.

kk i think the dude at monro was trying to **** me when he said that they were 20 bucks a tire... i about laughed into the phone.

[crusher101]

ill take it to walmart tomorrow then but which walmart around here does them? robinson?

[crusher101]

for future reference for anyone reading this i called walmart...

8 bucks to mount
5 bucks to balance
3 bucks for new valve stems
per tire still not that bad

I wouldnt let any Walmart touch any of my cars. I let them do an oil change on my car once and they screwed that up.

$20 isn't that bad these days for a complete mount / balance.

But...

I had a nice guy in Midland ( next to Beaver, right along the river - maybe 20 minutes from the Greater Pgh Airport ) mount the tires on my black '94 Cobra this summer. $10 a piece. He works out of a garage behind his house. He uses a Snap-On balancing machine. His name is Dave Cervone and his email is davecervone@gmail.com Tell him Ron with the black '94 Cobra sent you. Shoot him an email and I'm sure he'll get back to you. He also can get tires for you for a very good price - in most cases, as cheap or cheaper than places like DiscountTire and definitely cheaper than TireRack. I like giving my business to the small business owner whenever I can, especially when the service is very good.

i had gotten the tires from a member here and from craigslist so im set for those i just wanted to find a place in the area that would possibly have a hookup.

I hear ya - but you don't have to buy the tires from this guy for him to mount them.

I bought my tires elsewhere - got a good deal on a tire he couldn't get for me - and brought them to Dave for mounting / balancing.

hey id be all for it but for me to get to that guy it would end up costing me probably more in gas than id save since i live just outside of pittsburgh

I usually order tires off the interent unless I can find someone local to beat it. Last time round Firestone actually had the best deal. Looking to replace the crap Pirelli tires on the F150. A buddy of mine can sometimes do it, but I have to have him drag the wheel/tires (70lbs each) and the new tires (50lbs) in his truck all the way to Monroeville and back and there's no guarantee how many days it'll take him to sneak them in.

Good info here. I take it that Wal Mart is the one over in West Mifflin?

[crusher101]

the one in west mifflin and the one in robinson do it apparently

Jay at Domination Chassis usually charges 15/tire. He's on 88 in the old Team Nutz bldg.
