Incorrect.

I just called regarding this exact tire size (only one brand available)...feel free to verify. (352) 751-5150.

Tire.........................= $44.26
Dismounting/Mounting = $9.50

TOTAL = $53.76

The guy on the phone said that the determination on whether it needs balancing (weights) is made by the technician (explaining why one of mine didn't have a lead weight on it)...and is included in the mounting price.

I also found my old receipt and the tires I bought (same size/upgraded brand) were actually $62.52 each and the dismount/mount total came to the same $9.50 per tire....plus $1.00 ea. disposal fee.
