Seriously! Whats the price diff between run flats and normal tires for the IS anyway?

 

isn't it the same procedure for mounting and unmounting regular tires and run flats?

 

are these stock sized tires or 20" or something?

 

i drop my car off at the dealership earlier today and they first quoted me $105 for mount and balance, 20 min later i recieve a phone call saying, they would need to use SPECIAL equipment to m&b my rims since it got 2.5 inch lip on the rear. The special equipment they are going to use will cost me $500, i can't believe that and just decide to take my car to a regular tired shop. I end up paying 250 to take out the tpms on the oem rims and put it on the new one and m&b both rims. You guys that have paid under 150 are lucky.

 

$110 to take of wheels, take out TPMS, put in new wheels and new tires on wheels and mount at Lexus. Toyota wanted $165. Big O Tires said TPMS are too fragile and to take it to the dealer. ---I respect honesty when they can't do something or it's too risky.

 

$40 to remove the tpms off my stock wheels/tires and put them in a new set of stock wheels/tires. I watched them do the whole thing. Took them less than 30 mins. They don't have to unmount the tires to remove the tpms. They just de-flated it and popped it out from the side. Same goes when putting in the tpms.

 

nope these are the stock wheels

 

Thats what Im saying!
