I guess I should clarify-the $60 difference comes into play if I remove the wheels and bring them to the shop vs. bringing the whole bike and letting them remove the wheels and tires, mount and balance the new tires, and then put the wheels back on the bike.
Regardless, it appears that balancing them isn't the mystery I kind of figured it would be-I've watched car tires spinning around on a balancing machine and have no idea how it works! Thanks for the info and instructions-I'm always up for learning something new!

The CSC Shop Talk video on tires says to use 1 or 2 tire irons.....I prefer 3. When you put the 3rd one in, the middle one loosens; you then use that one to take the next "bite" of the tire. Watch a few YouTube videos on tire changing. And use lots of tire lube. I've used soapy water, Windex, and currently......I have found the personal lubricant works really good....   jb
