Default tire mounting

What is a fair price to pay to have four tires dismounted and remounted on new rims with TPS and balance?

A family owned tire shop in my town did mine for 60 bucks I was on my way to place that was gonna do them for 80 when I remembered the other shop.You will of course wanna make sure they know what they are doing but any reputable shop that has been around for while will have exp with TPS they really aren't all that uncommon alot of vehicles have them now.Of course this is A.R. prices...

Make sure they know Corvettes and the TPMS. I had mine taken off reinstalled etc for $70 last year.

Your wheels are on the way BTW. Tracking info will be available Monday.

That's what I paid, they removed tires from thin spokes, mounted tires on new rims, and road force balance all four.

Run flats cost more because they are a PITA, so I'm told. Two days ago I sold my magnesium rims to a buddy. We had the run flat tires he had on his 99 wagon wheels w/tps removed. The run flat tires w/tps removed from the mag. wheels. Put the 99 tps in the mags along with the 99 run flats that where almost new, and balanced. Then my mag sensors where put in a set of stock thin spokes, with only a couple thousand miles on them, that I bought here on the forum, and balanced also. Don't worry these are only untill I get my CCW 500 13 inchers. All this cost $120.00. Also go somewhere that has a touchless tire machine!!!!
