My last round with Discount Tire was on this 2013 work truck. They dismounted the tires from the old steel wheels, mounted the same tires on the new aluminum wheels, installed 4 new TPMS senders, balanced the tires, calibrated the TPMS senders, and the bottom line was about $130. I brought in everything, tires, wheels, TPMS senders, and they supplied the know how, the tools, and the labor, for about $130 all in.
And while I'm at it, I would seriously recommend that you pay more attention to your tires in the future. 3/32 is getting very thin on that tread depth.

Yes, I have a Discount Tire nearby - in fact, that's where I took the Outback when the TPMS light came on. They were the ones who told me about the tread depth.
I took it to the tire store where I got the Coopers, hoping that I might score some credit due to the premature wear.
I, too, wondered about the mount and balance charge, and the labor charge on top of that.
I will get a quote from Discount in the morning.
We have Costco, but are not members.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in. I'll get this taken care of within the next week.

Late to the party but 100% go with Michelin. I’ve never had a bad experience with them.

Agree with the others that the labor charge is just a wallet flush.
If you aren't going to take care of the new tires, rotate and check pressures, don't spend the money on high end tires.
Last 2 sets of tires replaced were Pirelli P7's, rated for 45k, got 45k. Replaced just before winter.
2013 Escape with Continental Crosscontact's replaced just under 75k. Still had some life left but headed into a Wisconsin winter.
Found a Nice ford pickup for old farmer local to him. Under $10k!

Seriously though, 100% agree on Discount tire and Michilens. Thats what I put on the X1 this time around. Super quiet compared to the factory Pirelli’s and Continentals which they replaced.

Nice car. I’d take that over the RDX. Love the interior. Hard pass on that color though.

Plus, the interior matches what she has now, plus the M-Sport package. 😕

Here’s one that I would be interested in if it weren’t for the price and that awful vinyl roof.

I checked my regional tire group here in W OHio. Michelin CC2 225x50x17 for my Cruze.
$732
56 mounting
16 disposal
04 Ohio tire tax
Price included lifetime rotation, lifetime balancing.
Lifetime balancing used to be extra charge as part of road hazard warranty; now it's included.
Road Hazard for 4 tires is $114, included repairs of punctures, replacement for damage tire...
Ohio sales tax would be additional to this total.

@oldfarmer50
Yeah the full Florida treatment on that one is tough. Not a huge fan of 05s since it’s the first year of DBW and the dash isn’t the new style launched in 06. Ford never got the mapping just right and they have weird throttle response compared to 06+

Kydfx, love "chocolate" interiors.
So, I'm CC shopping again... I probably let a good (these days, that is) deal pass me by with my (frugal/practical/annoying) indecision...
But, I just filled out 3 "Get your internet price" forms (I'm bored) and, one dealer immediately returned my email with details! The internet price was $1k higher for a cash deal, which I asked about. And, outrageous "conveyance fee" plus some other state (CT) fees not detailed. I've followed up with more questions, but, wow, the reply was within 5 minutes and relatively complete!
I await the other two dealers, all in CT.
Massachusetts doesn't allow out of state temp plates, so I want to know if the CT dealers will do all the title/license/registration for the "conveyance" fee. As the nice, small independent used car place that I didn't act upon noted that they would do.
That was a nice day, drove down to the CT shore town, took a test drive on a gorgeous day (with the somewhat nervous owner riding shotgun, not allowing as long a drive as I would have liked). Then, onto Mohegan Sun where I had a free lunch and actually won some $ (about 98% shy of enough to have then bought the car, which was my plan).

But, no details, just contact me with questions. THat's a shame.

Correction…I’d say it’s time to lose it.
jmonroe
I see where it says it’s been “Driven 117,024 miles”, maybe you otta ask how many miles it’s been towed to get to the shop.
jmonroe
$798!!! Conveyance fee
$200 state operation fee plus $168 vin etch.
Again, that's a shame... no thank you vin etch. And, is the $200 really a state of CT fee or another "conveyance..."

"If I got the 368 waved either way? Could we put this together? "
It is tempting, but a long drive to view and test drive. I'd have to make a day of it, visit other places too. Maybe combine with a UConn football game! But, why suffer that ignomy. Who's idea was it for UConn to play true Div 1 teams!

And, I can skip the hassle of fighting for any sort of credit - I doubt it would have added up to $400, that's for sure.
And yes, I will be more diligent about getting them rotated every 5000 miles.
I just looked at my records for the MINI - I had them rotated in March, about 6000 miles after they were installed.

Came out two weeks ago Monday and my car wouldn't start! Had the Accent in the garage also since the girls were on a trip to Orlando, so used it the next couple of days to get to physical therapy. Had plenty of food in the house so no extra driving needed. Finally got to Tires Plus that Wednesday morning and had to replace the 23 month old Interstate unit. T P no longer carries Interstate products but did pro-rate the new battery so just cost me $66 plus $30 bucks labor. Labor price went up by double since the last time as did the battery charge. Battery charge was the same that we paid for the Audi's new one last month so didn't feel that badly. And hers was done right in our garage to! Inflation has added to prices of everything it seems but hey, we both needed new batteries so we had no choice here!

I did do a list of all the work I've had done on the Golf since new and was surprised really. Have spent a bit more than I thought in the almost 8 years of ownership but am still loving it! And think by December 12th, the 8 year mark, I'll have just driven 72K miles, give or take. Not too bad really though these last few years have seen a dramatic drop in overall driving. I did do a couple of synthetic oil changes a bit close together a few years back but turned out that the receipt had fallen between the seat and console so thought I was way overdue on that change/rotation. But figured it was better to do one too many than one too late. As long as things work out well, can see me keeping the Golf another couple of years honestly. But, one never knows just what might fall into my lap!

backed in since I did not have the wife to be a spotter and did not want to run the nose into anything. Only took one shot and slid right in. will likely keep doing that since it is much easier to get out the drivers door in the middle instead of up close to the wall.
really wish the garage was a couple feet deeper like my old one, but gotta work with what you got. definitely could not fit a midsized truck like a Tacoma in there unless I pretty much pulled in to within 2" of the wall!

I park the Hyundai similarly. We don’t have a super deep garage on a good day and on my side we have our entire HVAC system and hot water heater. It is what it is.

That's how we do it, as well.
