Swapping wheels in/out of tires, where to go

in the Denham area? Ive acquired 4 wheels (no tires) and I want to take the tires off of the wheels I'm currently rolling and put them on the new wheels. Also, what can I expect as far as price for basically mounting and balancing?
I figure it can't be terribly expensive. Plus, I'm off today and figured if do something at least sort of productive.

I would think walmart/sams would be reasonable. It shouldn't cost more than $15/tire

I thought about WM but last time I had them balance, there were weights and counterweights everywhere. And this was for a 265/75 tire. I'm getting 33x12.50s done this time.

There's no way you should have more than 2 weights on there really, maybe 3 (rarely if ever), and they should all be adjacent to each other. I did it for a summer, and if there are weights all over it somebody is either really dumb or really lazy.
ETA: unless some machines are shitty or something. I only ever used one and it was pretty new.

Right. I worked at a car dealership in college and when I got back to BR I re-balanced them myself.

I'd go to a shop that specializes off road equipment and service. might be a little more expensive, but I'd have to imagine those kinds of places would be most knowledgable when balancing large tires.
