In Texas mounting is not a problem, balancing is. The tire mounting machine at Discount Tire, where I went, gripped the wheel at the rim, not at the center. I got a reduced price on the "mount and balance" since they could not balance. I got really lucky, my tires run smooth with no balance weights at all.
