Anyone you want can mount them, and they have a preferred list if you wish. Of course that cost is on you.
You pay TR for shipping.

You will have to pay for S&H as well as the fee's for mounting and balancing. I had them shipped to the house and then took them to the local tire store.

Hi LT1driver -

You will pay the shipping charges to Tire Rack as part of the sale.

As stated, Tire Rack has a "preferred installer" program, and I have been very happy with the preferred installer in my area.

Check the web site and you will be able to put in your zip code and it will return a list of preferred installers in your area.

best regards -

Just click on "add to cart" beside the tires you want. A new page will open where you put in your zip code and it will calculate all shipping, taxes etc. to your door.

Check around. You might find a local tire store that will match the Tire Rack prices without the hassle of getting them delivered and transporting them to the tire store for mounting.
The local Discount Tire store here has always matched prices found on the internet sites.
