Honestly I'm not sure...

The whole package mounted and balanced was north of $600.

Would you think $500 is fair? The wheels their mounted on come free of course.

I just looked up Goodyear Eagle Rs-a 205/55/16 on tirerack.. They are a little more than 300 brand new.

If the price was right I was thinking of picking them up for my stock wheels, but after reading the reviews on them I think I'd pass either way. Thanks.

Damn tire rack lol!

I KNOW my friend paid $5-600 including mount/balance.

And I'm surprised reviews are bad, these are oem spec.

Lol.. It's all good. I'm sure some corporate tire shop had the prices jacked wayy up.

Tire kingdom wanted $90 for mount and balance on my wifes 16" wheels. That wasn't even including alignment which would be another $80.

It seems that corporate tire stores charge easily $30 more for each tire than say, tirerack.com would. So about $470 for tires plus $170 mount/balance/alignment, that's $650.

I will NEVER go back to a big tire place again. They suck.

It seems that a lot of tires that come stock on new cars suck!

LOL no way!

I'm right over in Trumbull! The crash was in Monroe and the car was stored in monroe for a week till we sold it.

That's too bad...

If you want cheap parts though, go to chuck and eddies pick and pull yard in New Haven. They always have a few B5 Audis.
