    custom tire balancing

    has anyone balanced their tires the new way how they balance the tires/ rims and then they simulate road travel and then rebalance them by putting the high spot of the rim on the opposite side of the high spot of the tire.

    is this worth the money?

    We have installers listed on our web site and some do use the Hunter road force balance machine. It is what we balance every package with here.
    If I can help let me know.
