Ordered new tires from tires.com for my M3's staggered LTWs.

Where in NYC, or on Long Island, can I get a tire shop to balance and mount them for relatively cheap?

What will it cost and where should I go?

Thanks,

Costco? I know they charge $10 but not sure if they have the "sticky weights"

Walmart (if there is one in or near the city). I took my tires there last week, they were like $12 a piece mounted and balanced. They use clip on wheel weights though.

I usually take my car to this small tire shop over in Flushing. Near the corner of College Point Blvd and Roosevelt Ave. 10 bux for mounting and balance.

It's tire balancing. Not exactly blueprinting an engine or track suspension fine-tuning.
