No, The tyres went down the road in a van and came back balanced!
Same here. I left the car with Ben and Mike and Ben took the wheels to their local guy- we switched tyres ( Avons to Yokos) and they were balanced at the same time
Mainly it was availability, and recommendation from Ben duncan, he was arranging the fitting too. so Far they seem ok, certainly better than the 21 yr old tyres that were on the car.
