Last time I watched KF balancing wheels they didn't even spin them up to check them after applying the weights. Just straight back onto the car!

I only have mine balanced when new tyres are fitted and it is all in with the price. Am I right to do this?  Is it false economy?  Done it for years (1,000,000 business/social miles)   :o :o  Lizzie Zoom  :D
