Best place for tires + mount across the border from GVA

As subject. Getting some rims through the mail soon, and wanna pick them up from the other side of the border, get tires mounted and road force balanced before coming back. Any good suggestions for tire shops? Thanks.

go to discount tire in Bellingham, they mount tires really cheap, i think its like $11/tire and they dont care how big your tires are, you can call them and make sure

you can buy tires from them too, they price match tire rack's shipped price

Where ever you go; make sure they're high speed balancing your tires. Not sure if most places do that, but when you get up around ( or over ) highway speeds, you'll find out real quick if your wheels/tires are balanced properly.

Did you check the list of recommended installers on TireRack.com?

There are a few places in Ferndale that they recommend...
