Default Tire Mounting and balance

Hey everybody,
I just got my tires shipped to me. Where do you guys recommend me taking them to get the tires mounted and balanced? Theres a couple of really ghetto used tire shops on cleveland ave willing to do it for cheap ($40).. but i dont know if they're trustworthy.

btw, im looking for a place in columbus/westerville.

Thanks!

Only go Hunter Roadforce balancing. Its going to be a little more, but worth it. Goodyear or NTB has them I believe

Our dealership using that machine as well.

Not sure where you're located, we're on the West side.

20mins West of Downtown Cleveland.

don't know many other places down in columbus, but my #1 suggestion would be marysville honda. if I recall correctly, Marysville Honda replaced the RE050s on Mark's Ap2. (I think Marysville has a Hunter machine that did the alignment for Scott's Ap2 as well )

#2 was the discount tire on sawmill... they replaced my S02s on my Ap1, back in the day

I have used the Discount Tire on Rome Hilliard, Fishinger and Sawmill all with no issues. Cost is about $95 for all 4 tires mounted and balanced.

I've used the discount tire on sawmill many times and trust their work. But this was chosen out of convience and location. I'm sure many other places are reliable, tires and rims are tires and rims....the shops mount and balance 24/7 so I wouldn't worry too much. Getting a tune up, oil change, raditor flush etc... then I'd worry.

There is a discount tire off of 23 and Powell I think. Its by Walmart. North on your way up to Lewis Center and Walmart area.

Honda Marysville did replace my rear RE050's. I did not, however, pay any attention to what balance machine they had (I should have). No problems, though.

Columbus A-holes should be able to tell us, though.
