Do they *need* balancing?
I bought chrome wires and had the existing tyres swapped over but refused to
have them balanced (mucking up my nice new chrome) untill I had tried the
car - no wobble at any speed. Fronts eventually wore out and were replaced
and I did the same thing - still not a trace of wobble at any speed. Maybe
I was just (very) lucky.
