I'm finding this out now.  Seems that everywhere prices are pretty much 
the same.

I custom fitted my HF tire changer to a movable mount about a year ago and 
I love any chance I get to use it! (I think I even posted it here.)

Here is a link to my instructable about it...

These aren't front tires, so I'm only planning on static balancing them.

There is the tirerack, of course.  But it's really worth calling some
local places.  Margins on tires aren't that high, and lots of them are
pretty competitive, and you might get someone to cut you a deal.  How
you mounting them if you buy them online?
