    Mount/Balance Your Own Tires

    Well I was reading some funny articles about Harbor Freight and somebody was talking about a wheel balancer.. so I looked it up:

    Portable Wheel Balancer

    Actually looks like it has good reviews. You would spend that much money getting your tires mounted and balanced one time. If you could do your tires on all your cars that would add up to a good bit of savings!

    I wonder if it is a PITA to do, though.

    There's a very good reason bubble balancers went the way of the dinosaur over 40 years ago...
