I'm shocked at how much the price of tires has gone up the past

Everything is going up. When you get all those extra trillions of
dollars our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren have been
obligated to pay chasing the same amount of goods, the price of things
has to go up.
Yeah but it seems that tires have not just gone up, they've about
doubled since I last shopped (a couple of years ago).

Tire Rack and similar websites seem to have the best prices, but around here
at least, the dealers charge higher prices for mounting the mailorder tires
such that little or nothing is saved by ordering them.
I've seen several simple tire changing machines at Harbor Freight and other
sources. Have you or others had any experience with them? I seem to
remember prices in the $150 range for the machines which would be paid for
after mounting two sets of tires. Balancing can be done by using a hub
clamped in a vice and lubricated with very light oil. Did that in years
gone by.
