Anyone do this, Or know of a cheap place that will do this. I went to Les Schwab yesterday and they wanted almost 80 bux to take my tires off my wheels and put a different set on
Is that the norm, or are there better places to get this done??
Also, Who mounts slicks onto wheels?

At Sears, dismount is free, and static balance is $9 or $15 depending on your wheel size. Anyone can mount slicks as long as they're not mounted to the car.
Also, Foster's Wheel Service in Ballard does nice work at $15/wheel. Negotiate price up front.

For slicks I would look to someone outside of the major chains. You need to find someone who will do them right and even screw the rims and then balance them.
I would not trust any of the les schwab jackasses to mount them, they wouldn't even mount my front tire because they were not dot approved.

I use Omni in Kirkland. Discount tire seems to be a good call as well
