    $69 for the service. They said $20 if they have to unmount and remount a tire.

    I went back to Town Fair tire where I got them and had them rebalance the right rear with weight but that did not seem to fix the vibration.

    You ever try DiGiovannis? (Right by Rockwell Park) They mounted and balanced my wheels on the taco last year; just had them mount and balance new tires for my plow truck. They’ve done a bunch of work on that plow truck and have been great to work with; honest pricing.

    Firestone road force balance definitely made a difference. They found that there was excessive weight on the rim from Town Fair tire trying to get it balanced. They took all of the weight off of the rear tires (this is where I was getting the vibration) and then added them as need. They also had to remount the left rear tire in order to get the balance right. This time the yellow dot was NOT supposed to line up with the valve stem lol.

    They charged me $65 for the Road force balance and didnt charge me for the remount of 1 tire. I think that it is definitely worth it. The non road force balance just tells you to keep adding weight but not the exact place it should be added at.

    Keep your friends and family close, and be thankful for what you have.

    My close friend randomly had a seizure at work an hour ago, followed him to St Francis. Seems fine but what the fuck.

    Throwing this out there, but I've got an extra ticket to see Rittz in Hartford Tonight at 7 if anyone's interested.

    I saw him last night and they put me on the guest list for tonight with a plus one. My girlfriend can't go, so if anyone wants to, shoot me a message.

    I went one time, and they seemed fine...But that is based on one experience...My wife's uncle has the same opinion as you. He won't even acknowledge their existence...

    Thank you sir

    He seemed good at the hospital. Left him and his wife there so they can run some tests and hopefully rest and get well.
