Dealers don't want that business. I used to install them at my shop, no matter where you bought them, but had to stop that when people would bring me a 12 year old tire they got off Craigslist for $20 and want me to mount it on their 900 pound touring bike for their big trip, then complain three days later that it isn't holding air and I must have done something wrong. Heck I had a guy bring me a tire with cord showing to get it installed, because it had less cord showing than the one he was replacing. Those are the guys that come back two weeks later swearing on their mothers lives that the tire was "almost new" and I must have mounted it wrong to have it wear out that fast.Odd that the dealership adds a surcharge for non-purchased from them tire install.
