Where to get tires mounted

Does anyone recommend a place to get new tires mounted and balanced in Queens or Long Island? I'd like to bring the wheels and tires in myself and pay somebody to install them for me.


On a side note, anyone want to buy these Dunlops from me?

Thanks,

also, if anyone knows a place that can get tires cheap I'd consider that too since its easier than transporting wheels and tires.

I hink costco is the best for long term purchases. Considering you get a warranty, free lifetime balancing, free flat fixes and free rotations....

Thanks John.
Another option I just found out is this: order the tires on tirerack and go through the list of installers to see if there is a wheel shop you want to use. The tires end up costing less than the shop would have quoted you and all you pay is labor for the installation. Just did that with Cross Island Tire & Wheel and they quoted me $50 for the install.
