Tire mounting question

[spongejosh]

I just had a similar thing done on my Outback at Discount Tire last month and it was ~$90. Are they charging more for offroad tires? I think I was charged for "winter tire changeover" and "TPMS service". Really all they are doing is popping the bead to remove tpms on 5 tires then popping the bead to install tpms and balancing. Technically they did more work on mine since they had to mount the new set of tires (not bought from them) too.

It sounds stupid but have you checked the Jeep dealers? Some of them will do tire work dirt cheap to get you in the door and price match. Check walmart/SAMs too that do tires.

Our local Sams Club will not work on tires they didn't sell.

This is why it pays to have a diversified group of friends. Last time I needed similar work done it only cost me a twelve pack of beer.

I have a manual tire changer and bubble balancer. IF it can't be done in your area.

Bring the kids. We'll rub them in bacon grease, the pups and them will keep occupied. .

If they are the same gen of Jeeps couldn't you just balance the new tires reset/relearn the new TPMS sensors to your Jeep? I assume most tire shops have the tool.

Unless they removed the TPMS sensors from those wheels.

Got it done for a little over $100 here in Brighton. I needed five tires done (had the spare as well). The problem was the TPMS was missing out of my new set of tires because they were taken out by the 4 wheel shop for my buddies new set of tires. I needed to use the TPMS from the set that was on the Jeep already. The almost $200 Price that I was quotes was from Discount here in Brighton.

Jim, thanks for the offer. I'll still probably need to get the kids up there so you can hold the new baby.
