What should Road Force balancing run per tire?
I called three local tire shops and one autodealership that were listed on the site for GSP9700.
First place said "Road what balancing?" and I said never mind.
Both the dealership and one tire shop quoted $15 per tire.
The other shop said $40 per tire to do it right. He said he was the only one around that matched the tires to the rims and it was very labor and time intensive.
I thought the whole point of the RFB was to match the rim to the tire before adding weight. Does this mean the other shops have the equipment and don't know how to properly use it?
