[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 1158838, member: 3372"] I change my own - balance my own. If it balances it should be good to go. That said, I take the time to break the bead several times to rotate the wheel within the tire to get the least amount of weight. I start out with the old weights removed and know where the heavy spot of the bare rim is. Since I am not paying anyone to do the work I can take my time. Several tires have balanced without any weights, that's my goal. Kinda like a labor of love. If you're paying someone to do this be prepared to pay the prevailing shop rate for their time.
