you take off the mounting/balancing (12.50each) shipping (~22bucks) you get about the same price maybe a hair cheaper... but im getting ass raped for like 8.9% tax too...

im gonna ask the guys at work, might get them to balance them...

oh i also want my other two tires balanced, think one or both need it...get a nice vibration about mid 4th gear :-\ discount said he would balance the other two for free if i bought those tires...

I never heard anything thing about Walmart selling blemish tires. Hell having blemish stamped on tires just doesn't even sound right. :X Though Walmart is pretty damn cheap for mounting and balancing tires. Runs me 43 to have a full set mounted and balanced whenever I get it done. Cool thing also atleast at my store. They don't have a price for removing just the tires. So since they have a seperate price to go off of. I get tires removed for free. 8)

average round here is 30-40 flat for mounting and balancing. Just go to one of the mexican tire shops. :8

I once had a set of tires removed from a set of rims and then transfered to another set of rims that needed tires to be removed and had those tires mounted on the rims that the first set of tires were removed from and had them balanced for like 50 bucks. if you are confused which i hope you are, allow me to rephrase.... I had two sets of rims and tires. I had the tires swapped between the two sets and had them balanced for 50ish dollas.

I usually buy from Discount.

Needed a cheap set for a project car, pressed my luck buying some Fuzion ZRI's off ebay.
I was really impressed.

IMO great tire. plus they were dirt cheap.
