Default mounting tires question

This place is charging $32 per tire to be mounted + balanced on some 19's. Does that sound right>?

Maybe a little overpriced, not sure on your area. Here in San Antonio at Discount Tire, all 4 wheels in 19s mounted and balanced is ~$100.

I paid $150 for a shop to mount 4 Run-Flats in 19"; they charged more if you didnt buy the tires from them, and more on top of that for Run-Flats. I think they said $100 if I bought the RFs there. They cater to the aftermarket dub crowd and it's not in the absolute best of areas, but they do a lot of local celebrity cars (Nelly, Marshall Faulk, Albert Pujols) and a host of baller-status rides...basically, people that give a siht if you put a nick in their rim. So they're very careful when mounting tires, I go to them often.

I pay $10 a wheel for my stock 18s though at a body shop a block away. Joe Schmo should be able to mount some 45 series tires without issue.

Most time the, I just take it to a buddy. But, when I couldn't wait, I paid $40 for 18s to be transfered from my old 18s to my new 18s. This might have been the "You've been buying tires at our store for years" price though.

The OP, or me? Mounting Run-Flats is a PITA. $150 to mount them when I didn't buy them from their shop is fair in my experience, for the shops around here at least.
