STEVE-O Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 tire discounters or walmart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zx2guy19 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 tire discounters or walmart Both were expensive as fuck. Firestone did all 4 of mine last week with new valve stems and tire disposal for $68. This was for mount and balance. I think if you just want them removed it'd be half that price.

Every time I step foot Into tire Discounters on broad it's $15 a tire mounted and balanced with disposal, even if they have to dismount a old tire or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyG Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 FWIW...Not much value added, but I had Tire discounters plug my tire on Gemini, and the dude told me it was on the house when I went to pay. This after they gave me an initial $25 quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firestone on State St. in Westerville just quoted me $75 for swapping tires on 2 wheels. :lolguy: Guy didn't sound like he knew what he was doing anyway.

bucd Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I used Phil Alspach (614)888-8100. I have to say, it was fun talking with him. He's 77 and still races his rx7. He has a mint one that he bought brand new in his garage with under 50k miles. Always love meeting someone like this. Showed me pics of his old rides of what he raced. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPS gave me a good quote on both, called to make the appointment and was told their tire machine is broke. Would love to hear the stories and see the rx7's though.

If you still need to get it done, hit up Andy (STarner) at Tire Discounters. He's out east though, it was a bit of a drive for me or i would have went there. -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
