Any of the large tyre places will be able to do it (in fact any tyre place should do it). Try Bob Jane or Beaurapairs - just watch them do it and tell them to be careful with the lip of your rims and you should be fine. They will probably charge you $50-100 I would have guessed.

Just go to a big tyre dealer and they will have my tyres second hand for like $60 fitted + balanced with about 90% tread.
