Default Tire/wheel balancing at home

I am a tool freak lol. Also, I live in the country with the nearest
town about 12 miles away and that one is a small one with only 1-2
shops other than wal mart that can change tires or repair flats.


Is it economically feasable to mount and balance car tires at
home?


I can not believe you can do a good job without a $$$$ spin-balancer.

Mart-of-Walls has a "lifetime balancing" warranty on new tires
they mount. Bring in the tirerack tires.

Be prepared for their tactics, however. They will be too busy;
leave the car. The tires are too old, they are dry rotting. They
are too bald, you must buy new ones. I stood them down on each.
