$160 for Cooper Zeon 2XS tires??

That is what my mechanic quoted, for mounting and balancing. Is that alot?? I know they are decent tires, and I do want the ZR rating. I only need 2 for now, for the front. If I order them online, i gotta pay shipping to my house. Anyone got any better ideas?
Or maybe suggest some different tires?

Re: $160 for Cooper Zeon 2XS tires??

I am just looking for standard size for my IROC, 245/50ZR16.
Today i called the local Cooper dealer, and they told me $142 mounted+balanced. Said they dont charge much for rotating either. They can have the tires in stock overnight!

Re: $160 for Cooper Zeon 2XS tires??

i have them on my 90 5.7

they are a really solid tire

predictable

super sticky the first 3000 miles then like all the other brands they lose abit

mine have about 8000 miles on them they will need replacing by 10-12k

I'd buy them again
