Default How much do you pay to have tires put on?

My new tire thread got me wondering what everybody pays to have tires put on their bike?

Me $10 a tire

Too much. I'm changing mechanics (ask me about the Master Cylinder rebuild he just did).

Depends. If I take the bike and tires for them to take completely do it, it's close to $100. If I take just the rims, most shops charge $20-$25 a tire. If I have a friend help me hand mount them, it costs me food, beer, and a few busted knuckles.

At the Track is like $20. HD shop is $35/tire.
Neither the Yamaha/Honda or the Suzuki/Kawi shop will touch a buell rim
Aren't they all the same??

Thinking about just buying a no-mar for myself, then I can do all mine and my friends.
