[QUOTE="Old Guy, post: 1451349, member: 35438"] I do my own as well and like BigOgre I don't see the logic of having 8 on once side and 4 opposite. The last one I did at home needed eight to balance, so I broke the bead and turned the tire on the rim 180 degrees and balanced it with two. That was a Michelin PR4. Michelin doesn't put balance dots on them, presumably because they're so close from the factory. But then, why would turning it on the rim change anything if the tire wasn't off? [/QUOTE]
