I'm finding this out now. Seems that everywhere prices are pretty much
the same.

I custom fitted my HF tire changer to a movable mount about a year ago and
I love any chance I get to use it! (I think I even posted it here.)
Here is a link to my instructable about it...

These aren't front tires, so I'm only planning on static balancing them.

There is the tirerack, of course. But it's really worth calling some

pretty competitive, and you might get someone to cut you a deal. How
