yes because wheels will not be shipped to hawaii with tires on them...but youre not ordering wheels so...sonics charges 25 a tire for mounting and balancing but bring a support vehicle to put them in or else youre gonna pay them to mount them on your car too

HTRZIII's. I got my set shipped to Island Brake and Alignment for ~$120. Pretty cheap shipping imo.

I'd take em to Sonics for mounting & balancing because at Island Brake, tech decided to put the 225's on my 9.5" rears and the 255's on the 8" fronts! They were stretched and I immediately thought that I should have gone with a bigger tire. That is until I saw the fronts....

Anyone got tires mounted at Revolutions before? I'd consider them too because they deal with low profile tires and ballah rims all the time.

i'm surprised at Island Brake and Alignment. they have been superb with me over the years. i even send my commercial vehicles their way.

he's done MANY custom alignments and emergency repairs for me. even though it looks like they made a grievous error, i would not hesitate to go back
