When I was a Kid back in the lat 1950s Bubble Balancers were used at Gas/Service Stations, likely better made than Harbor Freight ones.

Cars drove at about the same speeds as they do now and were not impeded by as many Traffic Signals either.

I have been using a Manual Tire Changer (Harbor Freignt Again) since the early 1990s and I don't have My Tires Balanced at all unless I have an issue with them.
