The shop that mounted my ds tire wasn't able to balance it. Is there a "best" method or product to use instead. Thanks

Well, how bad was it out of balance on the machine? 

All my Goodyears (3) used less weight than any motorcycle rear ever did.  Nearly perfect with no weights.

I have not used it but most would say Ride-On.  A CT takes more than a bike tire.

Same thoughts here.  Odd that they couldnt balance the tire.  Mine has been done a couple times with 0 weights needed.  I also prefer the Ride On for its balancing and puncture properties.  Though it is not good with some Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.  Another option is Dyna Beads.  Again not compatible with some TPMS's.

That's just it....they specialize in auto mounting....my rim /tire wouldn't fit on their balancing machine. So they used old school method similar to Kentucky windage to say it was balanced. New tire is Michelin primacy mxv-4.
