You have never ran truggy tires that are almost all out of balance. Balancing is very important. Look at all the top drivers they do it for a reason. Example I run balanced when revving on the box my truck it very smooth, my buddy un balanced his truck is crazy dancing. Some tire's dont need as much i have a set of aka's and they are pretty damn balanced. Some LPR pro lines a whole lot of balacing needed.

i agree with you that they always need to be ballanced though, its hard to control in the air if you dont.
i had a set that i used almost a whole stick of clay and it still isnt balanced, went in the trash they were premounts that someone gave, i guess i know why they gave them to me now LOL

put a new set of tires on the vehicle you drive daily, without balancincing them, and learn what not having it will do. It applies everywhere just as it is important to have balanced internals in your motors. even poppellers and turbines are balanced. hell, anything that spins will bennifit from being "balanced"

I use to say POINTLESS to until Kody balanced a set of my truggy tires.. It was night and day. HUGE difference...... Not only did tires last longer, I had faster lap times AND I did not lose any bearings......
Balancing tires - Strongly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Token, I also used to think that it was just another gimmick until I tried balancing a set of my truggy tires. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I was actually amazed at how much better it handled and jumped. It was one of the most notable changes I've ever made. So for me, unbalanced = sucky performance!
