I called out to a local tire shop because they have one of those "road test" machines that actually puts a load on the tire as it computer spin-balances it. I thought it might be good to do that after they got shipped. The tire shop charged me $10 a wheel to do that, but then they mounted them on the car for free. So for $40, I got them put on and the piece-of-mind of knowing they were 100% balanced. They ride smooth as silk.
you ordered a rim and tire package from a REPUTABLE tire place .. mounted and already balanced
and then PAID SOMEONE ELSE to re-balance em ??? sounds like a waste of 40 dollars to me ... do you not trust discount tire ?? ... last time i checked most places use the same kind of balance machine
and as far as mounting em on the car that takes a few minutes a wheel to do it yourself
