Best place to buy tires?

I'm getting some new rims, and am looking for a place in SA to buy good tires at a good price. Any suggestions? And what are their costs for mounting/balancing? I live over by The Rim/ La Cantera, if it helps any.

Discount Tire, best place to get tires because of their warranties. If you get the full package they will replace the tires if they are not repairable no questions asked. I have had great experiences with them.

What I did was check prices on the net,have that info with me,went to Firestone(as long as they carry that brand)they matched it with an additional 10% military discount.I went to Discount tire here in El Paso,the salesman tried to sell me the same tires with inflated extras for an additional $200 and said they don't support the Military(Fort Bliss is here)So I guess I'm the one guy that walked away mad from DiscountTire.Overall from other soldiers they said DiscountTire is fair.Just my 2 cents minus my Military Discount LOL LOL

Come buy some at walmart, i'll balance them for you
but serously, don't buy from walmart, they are way overpriced, and i wouldn't trust some of the people they have working there.

I am military in SA and I shopped around. Those of you that are in the military should look into AAFES. I shopped around, even at Discount. I asked discount if they would price match AAFES and they said no. AAFES will price match anyone if it is a brand that they can get, from what i understand they can get just about anything. I got 4 new BFG g-force 245/45/17 from them with road hazard and everything else for $530, BTW no taxes at AAFES.

Only problem with discount, they are always busy and you can be there for a long time if you wait for 4 tires to be mounted.
I took in a flat repair ans was there for 1.5 hours. When I got 4 tires, I was there half an hour after opening and waited 3 hours.
