Two hours for the second one. The goal is to do one a day this week. Then I might have secret beadlocks and lockout hubs next weekend!
Will regular tire shops be able to balance the wheel tire assembly?
They can. What they can't or won't do is rotate the tire on the wheel.
Discount doesnt do that anyway, they'll just slap on 30 oz of weight

And argue that 24 PSI is unsafe.
Back in the before times when the same people stayed around at my Discount Tire, they argued with me about tire pressure a couple times. When I would leave, I would immediately check the pressure and drain it if I had to. The guys would come out to ask what was wrong and I would remind them that I wanted 25psi and why the door sticker was no longer applicable. Eventually they quit filling up to whatever high pressure they had come up with.
My local tire shop puts 42 PSI in every single time without fail so I have to do the same thing. They claim of course that it is to "seat the bead" and for "liability purposes" so if I want a different pressure to change it myself.
How did you get that pic of my wheel?
I took that shit back to America's Tire (Discount Tire in Socal) and told the manager WTF is this? They spun the tire on the wheel and got it down to a couple of ounces.
I've got one that looks similar from discount.
Has anyone used Les Schwab? There is one very close to my house that I am debating trying

Fifth Coyote beadlock is in place and the tire just popped onto the bead. The first one took 4 hours. The last two took 1 hour 15 minutes each. I'm glad this is over!
