Dont' forget Nitrogen in those junk fees. That last set of tires I got they offered "Dynamic Balancing" or whatever they called it. They mount the tire, spin it, the computer tells them where to mark the rim and the tire, then unmount it, sping it until the marks line up, remount it, and supposedly this way they don't have to use as many weights. Sounds great in theory, but I kind of feel like that should just be what they do anyhow.
