I may be getting them, I dunno. I have to check again, and make sure that that is the same model the guy in town has. Ryan couldn't remember the exact model number, just the Falken part.

By the way, Arch, how much, at the most, on a top-of-the-line machine, should it cost to have 275/40/17s on 17X9's? The one quote I'm getting seems like a really high quote, even though its supposed to be one of the best machines?

mount and balance around $50 the same machine that does a 15" rim does a 17" rim

It shouldn't cost more than $5.00 a wheel. But I know when I got my rims and tires mounted it cost me like $50.00 for all four statically balanced and with the tire pressure sensors put back in. That was at Tire Kingdom - not sure if they have those in PA, but they are your run of the mill tire place.

McGruff

Oh, and if they tell you they have to use a top of the line machine for whatever reason, they are full of ****. Like Arch said, same machine that does 15" does 17"

no I'm not saying htat they have to, I'm saying that thats what they have to use, so the guy charges more. I've seen it, its the nicest one of any place in the area.

McGruff

That's like saying you need a table to do something, and you're going to the guy that charges more because his table is nicer.

Okay, bad analogy, but they all do the same thing, so nice or not, the tires are going on the rims.

the basic machine will do the job as well the only place where a nicer machine makes a difference is a performance balance
