Those of you who purchase tires at places like tirecrawler.com or tirerack.com, where do you have your tires mounted and balanced? Will most tire shops do it for a small fee?

Tirerack will ship to an installer or you can take it to one of their installers.

Yup. I recommend the Hunter Road Force machine, plug your zip in here:

Mount and balance depends on the tire size. 31's should be about $60 for the set at the most. Try discounttiredirect.com they have free shipping and no sales tax.

x2. find your best price online and then go to any discount tire and show them the price online and they will match it, Get the tires and install them for you. By the way discount Tire has reciently changed their policy on selling road hazard to you if you purchase your tires somewhere else. It used to be that you could purchase road hazard form them as long as your tires were pretty new. But now unless you have a new car or buy form them they won't sell you road hazards. But since they will match anybody on any tire it doesn't really matter.
Did you know that store is regional?

Agree with the above. I use Tirerack for research purposes and Discount Tire for the purchase. Sometimes Discount Tire is a slightly more expensive, but the free shipping still makes them cheaper. Have them installed wherever you want as long as they have a quality balancer and they are reputable.
Check your local tire dealers though too. I recently purchased a set of Firestone Destination A/T's and the local store actually had a better price than Tirerack and Discount Tire (this was a first). The local store only had 4 and the tire was on national back order, so I had to order my spare on line.

yes I do, they are all over the western US. I believe that they are the largest independently owned tire company in the US. But if they are not in your area then use Dicosunttiredirect.com as has been said:hatsoff: By the way some of the cheepest places on the web for truck tires is tirecrawler.com or 4x4groupbuy.com
