Default Ride Matching?

Saw this @ DTD and wondered if anyone has had it done to their new wheels/tires and if it's worth it?

And what about their heat cycling service?

I have it done on my personal vehicle.

www.gsp9700.com Hunter gives a better rundown of what it does for you.

Around here it's called Road Force Balancing. I'm assuming we're talking about the same thing. (matching the high/low spot of the wheel with the high/low spot of the tire) I've done it with all my vehicles, and yes, it's well worth it. It's the same method the OEM's use on all the vehicles they produce. There's a place about 15 miles from me that does it cheap, cheap, cheap!! (less than $16 per wheel/tire assembly) and there's one within 3 miles of my house that charges $75 per wheel/tire assembly!! Shop around, it can save you some $$$$$. (Oh yeah, guess which place I go to????? )
