jesus mate, thats unlucky. I change me own tyres, and balance em with a cradle thingy and spindles I got off the internet, and a box of weights I got from a motor factors. not for any other reason than tyre places invariably foc up. I have to google which colour dot is away from the valve or against it every time coz I forget, a lot of tyre places just disregard it. getting em off used to be the worst, but now I run a stanley knife around the middle (it cuts between the steel plies) and they come off easy in two pieces. me old vice breaks the bead, but its right on ots limit, im guessing a 200 or even a 190 wouldn't fit in. re balancing, I never bother with the rear, I doubt at my old age I can feel the difference between a balanced or unbalanced rear. front is crucial thou, obviously. good luck with the rest of it robbo, it'll all be worth it once spring gets here mate
