Larry with all due respect, I believe my comment referenced the tire manufacturer and not the equipment being used to perform the balance. In my experience, 15+ years at dealerships, I have discovered that Goodyear tires simply balance better with the method stated in my previous post. I have seen up to a 4 gram difference with weight, and a weight placement difference up to 5". I could mention that this was also discovered with a new Hunter road force balancer right out of the box but I won't.

Just my .02
