I thought of this thread today as I balanced a set of 5 wheels. The tyres are new B F Goodrich 19" (USA made) on good rims. None of them needed less than 70 grams (2 1/2 ounces) and the worst was 230 grams - that's 8 1/4 ounces! Yikes! With a tyre as lousy as that, I think it (and the car) would be bouncing all over the place at 45 mph or less.
Is it needed? I think absolutely so.
