It looks like I'm going to be ordering a set of rims when I get new tires...so good ol' tirerack.com will mount & balance them for free. lol.

I've heard the NTB will discount mounting/balancing tires if purchased from tirerack. Something about authorized installer or something.
You could also try walmart. gulp.

Its free because you either bought the tires from them or are a customer... They charge otherwise...
Just go to a Rim place and they'll usually just charge you labor... or less...

Go to tirerack and look up their recommended installers in your area. Other wise call around. I have lick with my local sears. They usually charge 65 for mounting and balancing (4 tires)and tire disposal. there is a guy at mine that does good work and is good to the rims.

Got mine done at the honda dealer for $15 a tire. A local mechanic who works at the acura dealer does it for $10 per tire at his personal shop. It shouldn't be much more than that.

americas tire is such a rip off place. I called about 4 months ago and i got a quote for my tires and they wanted about 50 bucks more than what tirerack.com would chargred shipped. Then about a week ago i called again to see how much they were again and they all of a sudden want $1150 for my re01r 
vs. $800 for what i paid at tirerack.com And to top that off another $15 bucks per tire to mount and balance.
i called another location and they want $1150 for the tires too but they want $25 per tire to mount and balance.
Jesus why are the prices different from one location to the next and why is it when ever i call back again later the prices always change. not cool.
i just went to big o tire and got them on for $80 bucks. took 20 mins.

oh yea and costco will not mount and balacne any tire that was not bought from them.
And costco does not carry bridgestones, which is what brand i was looking for. though the nitrogen is awesome though.

Find a local shop. It should cost you around $15 a tire for mount and balance - plus another few dollars each for disposal.
As for tire prices being different at different shops - it depends on who their suppliers are. My local shop has a supplier for Toyos, so they came out about $25/tire cheaper than at any of several other places I called.
