Default Tire Balance

I have purchased new S02s for my S2K. I have found in the past that my local KalTire does not balance to the degree I like. I still feel a vibration at speed.

Any ideas where I should take my S2K to have these S02s installed and balanced? I am willing to have this done in Edmonton or Calgary.

I get all my work done at tirecraft, excellent work and decent prices. I would never trust anything to kal-tire...In edmonton at least..

Are there tire balance machines that are more accurate than others?

You need a computerized "dynamic" balancer. These will not only balance the wheel across the face but also from inside to outside.

I have to get the dynamic balancing done on my mazda. Mazda sent me over to kal tire on albert by Red Lobster. I haven't done it yet, but the fellow I talked to seem quite knowledgeable at kal.
