There's plenty of DIY tire balancing on Youtube without the machine, I doubt these have any good results - perhaps if one's only driving within the city that would work.
For mounting only, the machine would be quite more affordable, but balancing is the issue. Perhaps a used machine ?

Re: Tire Machine
I was thinking static bubble balance, not commercial grade tire machine. Also, cheap HF bead breaker or equivalent, again, not commercial grade stuff.

Re: Tire Machine
Sam’s Club does take off spin balancing for something under $20 for a set of 4. I can’t remember the exact cost but after tax for 4 it’s either $12 or $16. That includes weights.

Re: Tire Machine
It does not work at all. Modern wide and heavy tire needs to be balanced at both walls. This bubble stuff simply can't do it.RickHaleParker wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2019 10:33 amYou mean works but not enough precision to be useful?
Lots of subpar tires like Continental made in Mexico go even further and need a run on a road-force balancer since they don't have guts/will to organize production and QA well enough.

Re: Tire Machine
COMRADES!!!
Let us not forget about the winter tire change over debacle.
I totally agree. If someone has the tool the tire machine and the computer balancer.
I have to knowledge to use, and i'm willing to pay to use it.
Its a convenience thing, and also the knowledge it was done right and done tight.
