Their web site has a nice system for choosing the right tire for you. Shipping costs are surprisingly low. I bring the tires to an independent shop for mounting. They don't mind at all. I think they charge me about $40 for mounting and balancing. If you bring the tires to a tire shop, they will resent that you didn't buy from them, understandably, and they will charge you a lot for the labor. They will also try to sell you unnecessary things, such as replacement valve stems. -- Tom Reingold Noo Joizy
