Default Balancing Machines

What's the latest and greatest one for balancing your tires? Last time I had it done it seemed like a waist of money, still feeling the vibrations at 80+mph. Can they still get the tires balanced correctly using stick on weights?

Hunter has a Road Force balancing machine that simulates roadforce, and will forcematch the tire to the rim, aligning the lowspot of the tire to the high spot of the rim, and vise versa....Even tell you where to put which setup, for best ride quality....

WELL WORTH IT...

www.gsp9700.com

That is the website for the Hunter machine. There is a locator on the site for one in your area.

2000slp, What store are you at?
