Hi Skidmarx,
Im not trying to get into an argument but your statement implies that the "good-enough" method may lead to a tyre being risky because its not properly balanced.
I consistently get my tyres in balance within 5grms. This is typically the smallest weight and no shop I have ever been to uses smaller. In every case my balancing has been better than the shops.
I know this because my tyres rotate and either stop at the same place every time (slightly out of balance) so that if I put a 5grm weight at the top the tyre falls so the weight is at the bottom - so its balanced within 5grm.
Or it rotates and stops at different places each time meaning its pretty much spot on.
Cheers
