country tire service in westwinds.
I know the owner and the guys that work there.
used to work with a few of them.
I think they are somewhere arround 15 a tire(just a guess)
but they can do bead balancing for a little extra too.

 :o

should have bought your tires at costco!!

free is a whole lot better.

(allthough, I guess it would depend what tires you wanted and what size/load range, etc)

Sorry, Dude...no such thing as free. If you don't pay for it on top of the retail price, it's rolled into the retail price. It's less painful when the price is hidden in with the price of the tire, and you're less likely to get gouged that way...but you're still going to pay for it, one way or another.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Don't forget Costco also includes free rotation, flat repairs and tire balancing for the life of the tires. The balancing really adds up at about $15.00 each.
When I bought my tires there (BFG 275/55R20) they were significantly less expensive than other tire stores.

Oh yeah, I second Country Tire. I've been there a few times with the Jeeps and always got great service with low prices.

The heavy duty manual one from Princess Auto. It's great, paid for itself in the first few months I owned it. I even make a little money (and beer) doin tires here and there, for friends and neighbours :)
