Interesting..... I find sometimes the guy at the tire shop doesnt know how to correctly balance a tire. I think a rep told me once you can balance a brick, but the thickness of a business card can throw it off when mounting it to the machine.

For my car I usually get my tires balanced twice. When installed and about half life or 20k miles. Same for my sidekick with 28 inch tires.

My tacoma had 30s and the tire was wearing unevenly in its diameter so the ride was rough at speeds faster than 60 mph. I made several trips to the dealer over that. They ended up putting it on a machine that reground the tires, think they called it a road master machine.
