Default Where to have tires mounted?

I picked up a set of 10th anniversary Cobra wheels, I also got a brand new set of 275/40 nt555s. Tires plus wants $35 per wheel, tire kingdom won't take walk-ins, walmart can't handle 40 series tires, etc. Anyone have a shop that they recommend for mount/balance.

I have a tire machine and can mount them,.. but I only have an old school bubble balancer that isnt always accurate. That and I dont have many wheels weights left,.. so may not be able to get it perfect. Oh,.. and only have the clip on weights. I dont have any of the stick ons that go inside the wheel.

I dont see why Walmart couldnt handle 40 series tires. I have an older machine and have done 315/35 tires. My only problem is that I cant do anything larger than 20" wheels. My spreader wont open large enough to secure the wheel. I barely did the tires for my truck which has 20x8.5 wheels.

Find a used tire shop. They will do it for a lot less.

True, just seeing if anyone has anyone that they recommend or know other than the normal big shops.
