STS or Stealership to mount tires?
Can I trust STS or should I suck it up, pay MB dealer and get my loaner?

I don't have prices from each yet, but I'm sure it'll be a few hundred difference...

Are you getting your tires from Tirerack and having someone install them?

I do buy them on Tirerack, and get the tires sent to either tireplus or Tirekingdom for installation. Much cheaper than the dealer, and faster...

I run 20 inch HRE's on all my cars (except the C BS).... Id rather have a professional tire shop with the best new high end machines mount and balance my wheels and for ... less.

The dealer doesnt have tire and mounting professionals usually per se. They have techs who can mount tires.

I get mine done at one of two tire shops around here. Never gone to the dealer.

no need to go to the stealership for something like this.

I went to discount tire to get my winter tires mounted and balanced. They charged me for a TPMS rebuild, which I thought was unnecessary.
You might want to get this information with your price quote when you call around.

If you have Discount Tires in your state they will match Tire Rack price, warranty and install.
