If you don't mind driving over the bridge I always use RZ (RacingZone) in Tampa at Cypress and MacDill.

On the tirerack.com site theres a tab near the top that says installation and they'll list a bunch of shops and their respective prices. But if you have some really nice wheels and are worried about scratches it might be better to listen to some of the other guys.

I went to five separate shops listed on there to get race slicks mounted, really easy mount & balance, 15 and 16" wheels with decent sidewalls so no complicated low profile shit, and each shop found some way to weasel out of their agreed upon Tire Rack price. Next opportunity I'm going to try XAT or the other place listed in this thread.

Thanks guys. I got the tires mounted for 26$ at this place my dad knows. I hate it when he makes me look for such things when he already knows them GRR!

With the cars in your sig you should be the last person to worry about tire mounting prices.
