How much does professional tire mounting and balancing cost?

Expect a per-tire mount-and-balance fee at most shops, with wheel alignment charged separately. Running separate summer, track, and winter sets means several appointments a year, so a nearby installer network saves real time and money. Many shops will mount tires shipped directly to them, which is handy for online tire orders. The bigger money-saver is a dedicated second set of wheels, turning a swap into a driveway job.
