How much for tire mounting?
I ordered a replacement rear tire for my 250r. I was happy with the performance of the stock Bridgestones, so I ordered one of those.
I am curious to know what others are paying for both the tire, and the mounting and balancing...? Posted via Mobile Device |

I have a buddy who mounts and balances your tires for $10/each
Local cycle gear mounts and balances for $25/each if you bring in the wheel It's up to like $40/each if you bring in your whole bike The cheapest store I've found was $20/each Check out this link for Motorcycle Superstore's Preferred Installers. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...Installer.aspx I bought tires from them recently and it went very smoothly. Great price on some BT045 for the 250. |

Well, I have the sneaking suspicion the place I bought the tire at will charge more than $20...

NorCal prices I've seen for tire mount & balance:
Wheels on Bike: $40-$50 each (your tires) $20-$50 each (their tires) More for some bikes i.e. Gold Wings Wheels off Bike: $10-$25 each (your tires) Free-$25 each (their tires) A dealership I worked at years ago in Oregon offered free on bike mount and balance if you bought the tires at the shop. That was rare as most shops make very little on tires, all the profit is in the mounting and balancing. The best prices I've found for tires and mounting is at the race track.
