[Shop-talk] Buying tires online (or is it Tyres?)

[Tim]

The mounting (and disposal) cost is what sways/ed me. I could have 
gotten a comparable set from a local(ish) place about a half hour away 
for about the same money but mounting etc was NOT included in the tire 
cost. I am getting this latest set for my wife's car mounted, balanced, 
old tires disposed of, and an allignment, locally--right in the little 
town I live in--for about $100. Your experience may differ.
