[QUOTE="SFZX, post: 1451359, member: 17175"] I've owned my own Coates tire machine and doing my own balancing for over 25 years. Never ever seen more than 4 1/4 oz weights needed. I think I spoke with a michelin rep not long ago two years maybe. i called because no more dots to align at valve stem. Best recollection was that Michelin now culls out tires that are not within tight overall balance restrictions to pass their quality inspection best memory was out by more than 1/2 oz, but he said its very rare to see one out by more 1/4 oz. This looks like the tech forgot to remove the first four across from the stem before he added the eight on the opposite side. I would definitely investigate this further even take it back and complain. I agree completely with old guy. [/QUOTE]
