4:25 Arrive at Ed's Used Tire in Kenosha, Wi with a loose set of Green
Diamond snow tires, mounted set of Hoosiers and a mounted set of Azenis.
4:33 Finally get helped due to a long line of customers.
4:35 Explain to the guy that there are 8 mounted wheels and 4 loose
tires in my car
4:36 First guy starts to take off first Azenis.
4:40 Still working on taking off first Azenis.
4:43 Finally gets first Azenis off.
4:44 Gets first Green Diamond off. Also gets another employee to start
with the Hoosiers.
4:49 Much to my dismay, this guy gets the Hoosier off much more easily
than the other guy dismounting the Falkens.
4:52 First guy gets second Azenis off. Other guy is having some
difficulties getting the first Azenis on the other set of wheels.
4:55 Second Green Diamond on. Proceeds to gouge up the lip of my ultra
expensive $80 a set junkyard wheels. Other guy gets first Falken on.
5:00 Guy continues to gouge up lip, other guy lights cigarette.
5:03 Third Azenis off, second Hoosier off. First guy lights cigarette
while other guy gets the second Azenis mounted.
5:06 Can't get Green Diamond mounted or Hoosier dismounted due to a
lack of air.
5:08 Use a cool looking tool attached to an air tank that made a loud
noise to get Green diamond mounted.
5:10Still can't get Green Diamond mounted or Hoosier dismounted due to
a lack of air. They both decide that it's a good idea to balance the
tires since there is now an even longer line behind me than there was
before I came.
5:15 All tires balanced. Third Hoosier off.
5:19 Last Falken off, last Green Diamond off, third Falken on.
5:23 Last Hoosier off. All Green Diamonds Mounted.
5:26 Last Azenis on.
5:27 Last Azenis balanced.
5:28 First guy tells me "Those tires are hell" and then asked if I
have ever been to Mueller's (another local tire shop) not so blatantly
hinting that I should go there next time.
5:29 Walking toward the register the other guy tells me that I've
ruined his day.
5:30 Pay about $60 for 8 tires mounted and balanced and disposal of 4
tires.
Nice group of guys there. In case you Cheese heads are wondering where
it is, it's on 60th Street and 10th Ave in Kenosha (Just off
Sheridan/32). Just tell them Pylon_Boy sent you and I'm sure they'd be
delighted to serve you with the most phenominal level of quality service.

Distinquished Guest
In and out in a hour, a bunch of dismount/mounts, balanced four, plus tire disposal. All of that for only $80.00 (not including the entertainment value).
Great find... If I ever have the misfortune of needing tire work done in the Chicagoland area, I'll be sure to go see your buds.

Umm...dumb question, but why'd you go so far? I'm pretty sure there's like a dozen tire shops between Chicago and the WI border if not more.
I was going up to the area. Plus, I don't know of many shops that will charge 5.50 for mounting & balencing as well as disposal of tires (the cheap places in Chicago make you bring your junk tires home with you).
