I like America's Tire Company. (aka Discount Tire Company in some regions)...
They match Tirerack prices, they just add ~$15-20 bucks, becuase Tirerack prices don't include shipping.

I like America's Tire Company, becuase they are extra careful with aftermarket wheels... When I brought in my 2 piece forged rims, I watched as they installed rubber feet on the machines, and they carefully used two hands to lift the wheel and place it on the machine... They put the wheels on the machines upside down, so that when they install the tires, they don't scratch the front surface of your wheels. They also carefully set the wheel on the ground....

When I brought my other car to Les Schwab, I watched in horror, as they used one hand to swing the tire on to the machine, but he missed the spindle, and put a huge gouge on the back of my alloy wheels. When they mounted the tires, the machine put a scratch around the entire circumference of the polished rims when they installed the tires. They also take the wheel off the machine, and bounce them on the ground, or let if fall on it's side, scratching your wheels as they come to rest, etc. Not to mention Les Schwab cross threaded the lugs, so when I went to remove the tire, I snapped my 2" extension bar, then I snapped 2 studs trying to remove the lugs.

Best bet seems to be to find the cheapest online price you can. Then call around locally an find the best price on mount/balance. Make sure its the whole price "out the door" when you call an doesn't come with a lot of BS Fee's tire disposal/shop materials ect.

Last time I had them mounted they were gonna charge a disposal fee until I said i would take the old ones then they waived it an still took the old tires... Not sure why but hey.
