The only hard part is breaking the bead on the old tires.  That guy used a van to do it, I've seen others rig up a bottle jack upside down to do the same thing.  Toss 1 oz. of airsoft pellets into each tire and they'll stay perfectly balanced.  Piece of cake right?  Why pay some knucklehead to screw it up...

I think you may be looking in the wrong place. $91 dollars is about £48 (so its £24 each wheel) and that would be deemed very expensive here in the UK (my part of it anyway). I deal with a small independent local tyre specialist, he deals mainly with auto stuff but is tooled up for bikes. He keeps his costs down by not holding any stock. You go one day and tell him what you want, pay a small deposit and the tyres arrive the next day, he fits and balances them to loose wheels for free and while you wait. The price I pay is the list price quoted in the cataloge, I know this because he shows me. The cost for fitting must come out of his discount. If you supply the tyre its £8 to fit and balance which is the same price as a car tyre which seems reasonable. He tells me he can keep his prices low as he has minimal overheads. Maybe you could try giving a few smaller tyre depots a call I would be very surprised if someone local doesnt deal in bike tyres and see if they do something similar, maybe even haggle out a deal. I would certainly avoid the main dealers and their inflated prices. Most of them here farm out the actual fitting and balancing and just put a mark-up on the price.
