I was gonna say somethin' smart about balancing ty(i)res using the "bubble" method, or even the pen and circular chart method, but I see by your profile that I'm 5 yrs older than you, so I won't. (kinder make ya wonder why I typed all that crap, huh.)


With modern balancers, it is difficult to stuff up a balance.
BUT! A question for you! Could you balance a set of low quality tyres on an older style balancer (electronic, but not "computer controlled) and not have a vibration problem, when they are to be fitted to a 5 (or 7) series Beemer? And 2) why is vibration a potential problem on this type of vehicle?

Thank you...
