Which would be easier? :P
But while we're here, he'd only have to remove one tire for the same effect.
. . . then, I think about it more: Is there a good body-ground path to the outer edge of the rims? Wheel bearings have grease and rubber/poly/etc. seals. Steering arms have grease and rubber/poly/etc. boots. Struts same. Sway bars same minus grease. ABS cable as a path would have to pass through the wheel bearing. Perhaps through the brake line then the pad backing then the pad then the rotor? Not quite a copper-and-crimp path. It'* all academic but never thought of this before.
Then again, this would also depend on what kind of surface the rim is sitting on. Clean dry pavement is a poor ground path. Maybe the rim is sitting in mud?

I'd have to agree. And with that agreement I have been reminded by that little voice that "it takes one to know one".
