Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

should be $12-15/tire for any shop to mount and balance if you bring them the tires. I always buy online and have a tire shop mount and balance. Comes out cheaper that way.

I’m having Lacy’s balance mine on Monday. Rocky said he could get them to balance properly. They haven’t been right since I got them put on, just never had time to deal with it. Also, need another alignment since I’ll be swapping front suspension again this weekend.

 

I figured it would be more than that. I used to buy online all the time but I had a friend with a shop back in Raleigh.

 

The Patagonias?

 

yeah. half the wheel weights are missing that were installed when they were mounted/balanced the first time. pretty sure that is the problem ha

 

Stick on weights will do that. I'm just assuming y'all fancy and got fancy alloy wheels.

 

mine are stick on, they suck.

 

I think that's around what they charged me to balance my 37" tires on beadlocks and mount a spare toyo mt tire on a steel rim that I all got online. I mounted the tires on the beadlocks my self and drove it on over, I get you can't really do that with a regular tire sans tire machine or spoons and a broken back.

 

My sticky wheel weights haven't fallen off yet

 

255/80r17 right?

 

Yes, I'll be running that size on all three vehicles. I test fit them last week, pulled them off my truck. Going to take a little trimming but nothing major.

 

I made a few calls for you looks like in the country there is a shortage. Not just around here.

 

My soon to be BIL manages a tire shop outside Raleigh, said the same thing.

 

I'm surprised that DT balanced those for you. They wouldn't even touch mine against their policy to mess with bead locks even balancing and bolting them up (what I was told). Probably got someone that didn't know what they were and just thought they were fake ones or something. You can still mount the tires on a regular tire machine or at least the bottom bead, I took mine to my friend's shop and did them there. Took longer to center and attach the rings and torque them down than it did to mount the tires.

 

He was showing zero in stock anywhere. And Discount tires said they had none at their distributers and no timeline for more.

 

I think they slowed production especially for some of the slow sellers. I know BFG halted production and I'm not sure if they started back up, but pretty much whatever is out there for BFG that's it.

 

Thats what he said. I ordered from eBay. Hopefully they come through.

EDIT: listing said 10 when I bought it, only 2 available now. @ovrlndkull

 

I know someone that might be able to piece a set together for you but you may pay shipping and like 5-10 days. I'll talk to them tomorrow and see what he says.

 

Thanks man, if this eBay seller does not come though by next week I'll get up with you.

 

@ovrlndkull well shit.....

 

some guy came through the car wash a new 2021 trd sport in army green. pretty much the first time seeing army green in person lol
