I just purchased four winter tires at Holbert's for my Cayenne. I couldn't buy them (N spec) from Tire Rack, they are a Porsche dealer exclusive. The non N spec tires were $180 per tire from Tire Rack, plus $12 per tire shipping. I paid $200 per tire for the N spec tires from Holbert's. Holbert's did not charge me for mounting or balancing. They don't charge their customers for mounting and balancing tires, who purchase their cars at the dealership.
The difference between what Holbert charges for mounting and balancing ($40) and STS or some other tire shops is that they Road Force Balance the wheels, which is a more of a real world balancing than regular spin balancing. My father in law has a repair shop a few miles away from Holbert's. He does not have road force balancing. He told me RFB machines are much more expensive. I get my tires mounted and balanced at Holbert's.

Yup, I get charged $25 per tire at STS in Chalfont and they really take care of my car and ensure that the rims do not get damaged.
