David,

I would also like to know if you could balance a new set of wide fives with new 
hancook tires. i bought 195's for 15 inch wheels.  they fit fine on the single 
cab, but not a lot of room for shimmy.

Can you balance wide fives?  I would be willing to pay you to balance my 
Thing Wheels.  I am also a bus driver.
