how much does usually it cost to...

mount and balance (2) 215/35/18 tires? the reason I asked is that almost no one around here does wheels that large so I wanted to know if I got ripped off or not. it's a damn monopoly for the one or two places that do mount larger wheels.

Balance your tires when you feel vibration while driving...otherwise you are just wasting your time.

i dont think its possible to mount a tire on a wheel and put it on the car and not have it vibrate.

$200 to mount and balance! HOLY CRAP, YOU USED TO WORK THERE! ID HATE TO SEE WHAT THEY CHARGE FIRST TIME CUSTOMERS!

16.99 isn't that bad but if you know where to shop you should save quite a bit.. I got a free mount and balance with my purchase...

i've seen people pay 300$, i pay 60-80$ if I ever pay at all. Alot of the big tire places charge about 120 out here, it also depends if you bring the rims in off of the car.

I paid just under $70 to get all for of my 18's mounted and balanced. You should always balance new tires especially if you drive FAST!! Just make sure the place has done 18's before
