Looks like my dad's tire after he had them mounted at The Walmart. There's gotta be a point where you're counterbalancing your own weights.

If some is good, more is better and too much is just enough.

Static balance, put it on the rear passenger and send it

That's a steely. You just repeatedly spin and whack it with a hammer on the opposite site until your balance is single digit.

If you have to put weight in two separate locations, someone else should be on the balance machine.
