OK pep. You are killing me. I have a tire machine an old coats 10-10
And a bubble balancer. I still pay the 40 to mount and balance 4 tires. I will give you a thumbs for tenacity.

Yeah, I used to do racecar tires like this a lot when I was a much younger, and even now on my own trucks I do my tire work on an old Coats we have at work. Gotta save money somewhere so my stuff gets cheaped out on. Part of the reason why I drive old GMC's too is they are cheaper than a car or truck payment so the wife can drive something fairly new. Since my trucks are beaters, I gotta try to keep a couple running all the time in case one breaks down----LOL!
I too give you a thumbs up as the "More time than money" thing is known to happen. Just a good thing you are a lot younger, for this job, weenie arms and all!
Oh yeah, around here the tire mounting price is 10 to 15 bucks each PLUS another 60 bucks to balance all 4. Mounting is free if you bought tires but they still stick it to you for the balance. $2.50 each for valve stems too. And another thought, they charge $2.50 each to dispose of the dismounted tires which is much cheaper than if you were to take them to the dump yourself. The dump charges 6 to 10 bucks each to throw away tires, depending on size and that is just car and light truck tires. Higher yet for bigger tires!
Sorry about the rant about how darn much this stuff costs!

That's oK! Im glad I can do it at home or it wouldn't get done for a long time. I gotta schedule every outing since we have all the kids and loading up 5 tires in the kid-mobile requires babysitters and several blankets.

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.
