I read the funny pages (forums) on the toilet…seems fitting.

my reaction to people spending their time and money on their truck is, “that’s nice.” Not sure why some seem offended.

Most of us are. Then again, most of us also don't balance our tires every 5k miles

That's a lot of rebalancing. If I noticed a vibration I'd bring it in or if a weight fell off, but I do it only when I get new tires.

If your tire is truly "cupping" then you have a ball joint or shock absorber problem, not balance.

If feathering then alignment or you simply corner like a bat out of heck.
