Absolutely nothing wrong with static balancing. I know for a fact that my home made balancer is accurate to within about 4 grams. I use clamp on weights in the centre of the bare rims to balance the bare rims. Then stick on weights to balance the difference with a new tyre. At 200 kph a front tyre that is out by 10-15 grams is quite noticable. If you are rarely running big speeds even 40 out on the rear is hard to pick. I aim for less than 5 out front and rear. Takes about 20 minutes per rim. Simple fact is you can run new tyres static balanced to within 5 grams as fast as your bus will run and it wont shake. Paul.
