how much does it usually cost to mount front and rear tires plus balancing?

I used to race enduros and hare scrambles.
If you couldn't change a tire on the bike you were riding, with the tools you were carrying with you, in less than 15 minutes, don't bother coming out.
Blair Sharpless could change a tire in 12 minutes.

Tubed tire, TINY spoons, hand pump, on the side of the trail.

Two words. Rip off. Larry's in Orangeville tried the whole oh you didn't buy the tires here so we need to charge more. 160 to swap em. I laughed all the way out the door. West end cycle in Caledon was super cool and did it for me for I think 60? Both wheels on the bike and I tipped him for not making me wait.

that's what the rep told me "We don’t mind installing tires purchased elsewhere but please keep in mind that install price changes if you bring us the tires".

That's strange because I had my tires installed at Larry's just last month. I have used Larry's for my last two tire changes and both times the tires were purchased online from Pete's. In 2011 they charged $25 per wheel, this year it was $30 per wheel, both were taxes extra. Those prices were for wheels carried in.

Mine was here's the tires here's the bike but regardless they wanted way too much for it. If they had even remotely competitive pricing on my tires I'd have purchased there
