Tire mounting is a bitch...
I head to Costo, they only mount tires bought from them.
I call Curry's, they want like $120.
I schedule w/ Tires Plus, and catch them taking a customer car for a joyride. I miss my appointment, although I didn't really miss it.
I call Walmart, and the guy doesn't think they can mount a 195/55/15 on a Civic Si wheel (the stock f'ing size).
GAWD! Who knows how I'm gonna get my 205 (really 217)/50/15 Azenis back on the 15x7 wheels that I order...

Walmart has been great (and cheap) for me so far
there is also Kim's in annandale that allison takes her car to. that place does a great job
oh, and Tires Plus in chantilly (next to curry's) are the retards who couldnt align my car, then wanted me to pay twice for them to fix it.
I got banned for life after I called them on it and said I wasnt paying

Maybe cuz you knew a guy that worked there  . Ok, I guess those arnt the sets your talking about.
About the joyriding, are you sure thats what it was? You do know sometimes they will test drive the car to duplicate a problem, and to ensure whatever they did fixed it.
Oh it was definitely a test drive because they had pulled the car down off the lift and out of the garage. I think they were testing how well the AWD system liked 4k rpms and boost.

i had complications with costco when i went there to get tires mounted too. apparently, my tire size wasn't "correct" for the wheel diameter and width that honda apparently says is ok for aftermarket wheels on an accord - according to paperwork costco keeps on the subject. so no mountage for me.

that's why you just take the wheels and tires on the back of a pickup and say here, do your damn job, mount 'em now.

i went to walmart... took a decent amount of time, but chassis lube (basically lubed up my clutch pedal which was squeaking), oil change, mount and balance of 4 tires cost less than $60. very happy. i forgot what regular tires sounded like (nothing), i almost enjoy driving my car every day again!

don't forget to check your oil level either! Walmart blew the valve guide seals out of my parent's Camry by overfilling, and another guy I know drove home without his oil cap. :evil:
you get what you pay for!
damnit, went to walmart to get the track tires/wheels mated up today and the asshole manager who originally told me they cannot mount 195/55/15 was there... he refused to mount used tires. fucker.

walmart is the only place I have ever been to that has actually torqued my wheels back down properly. I brought a torque wrench to check and I was very surprised that the torque was already dead-on
