^^ Tire rack installed and balanced my tires for free. They do that when you buy rims and tires.

Ordered 2 sets, 17" and 18" through TireRack instead of SimplyTire, saving about $700, after paying taxes at the border. Then $20 to install a set of wheels so savings down to $640. Gas - $50 (but can recover the bulk of this if you start driving with a half tank to States and fill it up in States). Then you pick up packages from the mailbox, buy groceries at Walmart and head back.


It's more like $20 per tire to install,mount and balance

The savings of about $700 is likely not on 8 tires alone. I'm thinking the $20 is to have someone jack the car, remove 20 lugs/nuts/whatever your car has, and replace the wheels.

Tires and winter wheels are mounted and balanced already for free from TireRack.

It's only $5/tire to swap wheels at iGarage or $10/tire to mount/balance... definitely not $20/tire.

^^ You really can't swap them yourself? It took me about 20 minutes to do the Mini, I have a compressor in the garage.

^^ That would be Flexin5, he has a cherry picker, compressor and a garage (at least he used to). Don't know if he will have at his new house.

I can but I rather just pay someone down the street $20 to swap it.
