    YES....
    i have my front tires mounted at my local tire shop....
    as for the rear, i let the SPYD3R dealer take care of that one...
    tire shop charged me $7 each for: mounting, balance and the valve stem...
    dealer charged me $47 for same on the rear tire... however, removal of the rear tire is far more work than the fronts...

    I purchased my kumho's at Walmart last spring, and they mounted them, but could not spin balance them. Took them across the street to a Big O tire store, and had them do it for $10 each.
