Hell they might charge you around 50-60 bucks to do it. Depends on the shop. I know discount charge 12 bucks per tire to rotate and balance. Not sure if they would charge that since you will already have them balanced.

sort of...the problem is that when he asks really really basic questions and he gets answers he comes back with smart ass responses to them. he didnt know how the air stayed in a tire...then we warned him to be careful when swapping his wheels and he played it off like he was an expert.

My advice to him would be to be a bit more humble when you dont know jack squat.

ROFL!!! Hahaha, I pictured it in my head! Reminded me of when I used to fix my old bycicle

! Anyway, if you DO decide to do it by yourself, make sure to tighten the bolts opposite each other, like a star, like this:

Code:

   2
4    5
 1  3

So tighten number 1 first, then 2, followed by 3, 4, and 5. You get the picture. Don't over-tighten it on your first run, just get the tires on and snug. After doing them, re-tighten them with the same strength on the tires in the SAME order, then one more time just to be sure. Get it? Got it? Good!
