Default Just mounted & static balanced my 30th tire in about five years - saving over $400

True. Why did you not answer my question about the cost of the "free"
snacks you spoke of. You said it was free, is that not a fact?


Hi Ed,

You mentioned that joke before where I didn't bother wasting everyone's
time responding to you that it was a simple sarcastic humorous dig that you
are attempting to make a mountain out of simply because _you_ don't like
that I pointed out that I speak facts and that I deduce rational logic from
those facts.

Whenever I say I speak facts, what always happens is that some idiot on the
net _tries_ to find my material facts wrong, where they end up wasting
everyone' time playing sill little semantic games where all they can find
is a typo, a thinko, or, in the case that you are playing your silly little
game attempting, a sarcastic joke that they attempt to twist out of
context.

Why can't we simply discuss the facts and merits here of a mounting DIY
without you repeatedly and constantly playing silly semantic games, Ed?

The facts are simple:
o Mounting & static balancing at home _can_ be done.
o The tools costs about $200 (albeit they're ****ty tools - but they work)
o The storage, use, & cost of these tools is similar to other tools we own
etc.

The logic is also simple:
o Some people _enjoy_ doing a DIY at home; while others apparently hate it.
o Just be honest that you hate it - which is a perfectly logical feeling.

The facts are that you can DIY at home.
o The goal is a well-balanced wheel

Toward that goal, the logical sequence is simple for those who hate DIY:
o They go to Costco, for example, & spend $60, and the job is done

It's not a DIY - but the job is done, right?
o I don't argue with that logic since it's perfectly reasonable logic.

Adults are funny that way.
o I don't argue with your logic that you prefer NOT to DIY

I simply point out that the _reason_ many people don't DIY is that they
don't like DIY and not any of the other arguments that have been proposed,
because _all_ those other arguments fail simple basic logic tests.

If people _do_ wish to DIY at home, I suggest this simple logic:
o Buy online, mount & static balance at home (eat all the food you want)
o The next time you're on the highway, doublecheck for vibration
o If you feel vibration, head to Costco for an inexpensive triplecheck

If the fact is that you don't feel any vibration, and, if we "assume" that
imperceptible vibrations don't cause damage (which is an unknown at this
point), then the simple obvious most basic of all logic is that having your
hair cut twice in the same day buys you nothing, where, having a balanced
wheel rebalanced buys you nothing.

Cutting your hair again, when it's already cut, buys you nothing, Ed.

Since I'm all about facts, and logic deduced from those facts...
o Does anyone else see logical errors in that suggestion above?
