That's highway robbery. Most shops (at least the ones in my area) do it for $20 a tire, less if you bring in the wheels off the bike or if you buy the tires from them.

around here $20-$40 per tire. dealers are the higher price. some
stores will change it for free if you buy the tire thereSounds like a hose job. If you bring the wheel in, you'd pay $15-30 around here, $20-25 the norm. If you just bring the bike in, then whatever the traffic will bear. How much money do you have? How much time? How much pride?> 60$ to mount each tire. Does this sound reasonable?
