There are alot of Cheap tire deals that include "bubble" balanceing.
I usually ask for the high speed Spin balance ( They spin the tire up
to about 60 mph) to make sure I don't have freeway problems.
I found a smaller place that will mount/spin balance tires on wire
wheels for $15 each ( don't know if it's a deal or not) just by calling
around and asking (I'm new to WAR wheels ).
