Peregrin-O is on a distinguished road
So I talked to my local indy mech and he said he could balance my wheels/tires but he doesn't have a roadforce machine. From what he explained to me he's bought wheels and tires for his cars that were road-forced and they were still off but when he used his nonRF machine he got them balanced. He also said whatever machine is used is only as good as the person knowing how to use it, which makes sense for a lot of other things but anyways my question I guess is whats the real difference in getting them balanced non-road-forced vs road-forced?

I do a lot of highway driving, over 250k miles now on my x, and my average speed is 80-85mph highway. I don't know if I'm over thinking it but if I get a "normal balance" can I still get a smooth drive at these speeds or is the road-forced the way to go
