I rounded the ends of the prybars so they don't cut the tires.

I can use the mounting bar to dismount tires...can't use it to put them on...use the prybars.

Use some blue goo from NAPA to lube and seal the beads.

Use an assortment of used weights with the balancer...just need to snug up the spring clips before reusing.

Works real well with steel wheels...OK with junker type alum wheels...don't want to even touch decent ones.

Also do my own front end alignment...mostly toe-in...can check camber fairly close.

Why? Because I wanted to try it all...now it's usually easier to just do them rather than find someone to do things.

...

That makes me rest easy brucey.

Sounds like they are good tires till they aren't?
