Default Best place to get tires mounted?

I'm going to get a new set of tires, haven't decided between mudlites or atr radials, but wondering where's the best/cheapest place to get them mounted properly? Any tires plus etc, or should I take it to the dealer? Something I can do at home? No clue on this one, thanks,
Dave

The tires themselves come off and on pretty easy. However, getting the beads broken loose from the wheel can be a b*tch!! I had a freind of mine at an auto dealership mount mine. The 12" wheel fit right on their tire machine. Only cost me a lunch.

I took mine to a local tire shop and had all 4 old unmounted and 4 new mounted for $20.

I've always had mine done at my local tire shop - in fact, I had them order the tires for me. Because they made the sale, mounting was cheap and since I had no shipping costs, my total cost was the same or better than any mailorder deal.

I would not go to the dealership, when I got my tires to replace the stockers I called the local dealership and they quoted me $24 a tire and that they may or may not get to it today or tomorrow. I happened to be near a wal-mart in the area so I went by their tire/lube express and they mounted them for $8 a tire and did it while I waited. The service manager at wal-mart did tell though that not all wal-marts will do ATV tires as it depends upon whether they have a tech who knows how to do it. Call wal-mart or a local tire company and I am sure the price will be fair, but dont go to the dealership[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

murphyslaw---- LOL, "tire brothel"! We have a "Tire Kingdom"store in the area, but not a brothel!
I get mine done at the local TSC( Farm supply store). OR do'em myself.

I guess it doesnt matter where you mount them. Just as long as you use protection!
Hold on..........I guess, they are made of rubber. Oh well.
