ok.. am wondering how accurate the balancing of a wheel and tyre is from the machine they use at the tyre places?
i get the feeling that it is only accurate to 10 grams.
Next question is whether you would feel it if your balance was out by 10 grams on one wheel?

Bob Jane does 3 levels of balancing . 2 r called Probal (German system ProffessionalBalancing) @ about $9 per wheel they clean around the hub and
inner wheel
and balance with a special adaptor plate for ur brand of vehicle. thus the standard universal coneshape tools marginal error of maybe more than 10
grams eliminated.
RESULT: less vibrations smoother ride all round longer tyre wear ..even fuel savings. I am happy with it as first time user.
there is silvr and gold level.

tyres can have faults
only one tyre may cause the probs.
