The date is 01/26 and I just returned from the local NTB on Reading Rd in Rosenberg, Texas. I went there to have two rear tires changed on my 2002 Corvette. I spoke with the Manager there and asked him for a quote. He looked at my car and said that it would be $73.00 to mount and balance the tires, due to the fact that they were so wide it would take the mechanic a long time to change. My tires are 295x35x18, a size that is very common on a lot of cars on the road today. I couldn't believe the quote was this high! I only went to this NTB because it was Sunday and Discount Tire was closed. I had just received a quote from Discount Tire the previous week and it would be $16.00 per tire, mount and balance. I will go to Discount Tire tomorrow and get it done for $16.00 each, and I can assure you I will never set foot in NTB again!
