Our local HD dealer offers a “free tire install”.
There are some restrictions of course and does not include weights.
You also pay for:
Tire disposal fee
Tire tax
Contact cleaner
Shop towel use.

I like to change my own so I can check everything else and clean everything as I go. I don’t get that from the dealer as part of the “free”.

I’ve got the time and equipment, but some people don’t!

I always remove my rims and take them to a shop to have my new tires (purchased online) mounted and balanced. I just had a new rear tire put on and the dealer (an H-D dealer) did it for $50. I am willing to pay $50 because other shops in my area charge $80 and more to put on a new tire. That's crazy! This is the last dealer in my area I am willing to spend my money at. The rest can die for all I care.

Mounting tires on the wheel is a small part of the job, as mentioned earlier taking time to clean is crucial to me especially the individual calipers making sure the pistons work smooth too. I’ve witnessed lots of tire changes at shops and not one time have I seen a caliper inspected and cleaned. I’m sure they would upon request. YMMV
