Changing your own tires.

My question is the balancing of the tire after it is mounted. How are you doing that? Just line up the 'paint dot' with the valve stem?

I am going to use a homeade balancer simaler to the Marc Parnes unit that is available, with stick on weights. Or you can use dynabeads. Here is all the info you should need to see how its done. http://www.pbase.com/fredharmon/tirechange
