Look around for a local tire guy. I use a guy in New Brunswick. He has
better prices then Costco. It is a couple of guy shop and all they do
is mount and balance tires. They don't even have a lift or garage. You
pull in on a concrete pad they jack up the car with floor jacks and away
they go. They charge you one price for mounting, and balancing and a
fee if you want them to dispose of the tires. I have seen wire wheels
in the shop. They do good work and will get you what ever tires you
want. I like using the small guy, as he remembers me, and the tires I
put on the car. That is my advice.
