New tires..Now need to mount/balance.
Just wondering how much you guys paid to get 325s/275s mounted and balanced? Called a couple of tire places and it seems like right when I say its a C6 Z price doubles per tire. Why do Z owners always get shafted?

I ran into the same issue. Places like discount tire and NTB wanted $200. I got it done at Sears for about $90. This was about three years ago.
Oh, and wal-mart was about to do it for about $50 (I brought the wheels without the car), but they figured out that they were too big to fit their machines

God bless Texas. I can go down to any of these Juan, Jose and Carlos Hermanos tire chops around Houston and since they all LOVE to put the 33"x21" or whatever size billet wheels on the new silverados, they have the machines that will easily do our size wheels and tires all for the cost of a dozen tacos and the chance to hear the cam para un LS7, lol.

Firestone did mine. Have a friend who works there. I want to say it was under 80 bucks. A&L Autobody used to hook it up on my old cars for like 20-40 bucks total but that was a few years back. NTB used to be reasonable but again no idea their rates now. Check out tire rack. They have preferred vendors and list all of their pricing. Also check out wheels America in Elk Grove Village.

Discount tire Just mounted my Nitto NT05R 345/19 on the rear.
They even torqued the lugs to the specified 100 with a torque wrench, and yes I actually watched them do this.
$48.06
