Tire installation fees in Walmart?
there is a release agent on the tire when they come out of the mold when i get new tires i always find a vacant lot and first bring the tire up to temp and then do figure 8's until i have scrubbed that scuff off you can also use a cleaner like purple power to remove that stuff but still do the 8's
It really depends on the car. I had a 91 Mazda I could put 4 tires on for under $200 in 2012, it had 14 inch rims. If you have a 13 inch rim, you can get pretty good tires for under $200. If you have a rim bigger than 15 inch you are looking at $350-400 for cheap tires. The trick is having a small car with small rims if you want cheap tires.
Walmart Tire Installation
For a new tire installation, you'll need to pay to mount each tire, balance each tire, and possibly replace the valve stem. If you buy all 4 tires at Wal-Mart, you'll have to add on $5 per tire, or $7 if you need new valve stems. So, you're looking at $20 to $28 total added to the price of the tires. They will probably also charge you a used tire disposal fee, which is usually a couple bucks per tire.
Usually new tires are coated in a protective oil/wax type sealent. This is to help get them out of the molds and also to help fit them on your bike. This stuff will put you on your **** if you are not careful. (Something they dont tell you at the shop.) It normally takes about 100 kms of travel to get rid of it. Take it easy for the first few kms, let the tyres get rid of this oily crap and bed down prporely, and then gradually speed up. Check you pressures and make sure you dont have leaking valves etc. After about 200kms you can unleash the beast
