Virgil,
I'm with Dutch on this one, but not Dutch I'm Deutches. The DW is real Dutch.
Back to the story at hand. Our rear are not dual, but tandem. This means that they are not bolted together, but one behind the other and if any of the four get out of balance or was not right to start with, there is now way you can not notice.
After a balance disaster, I bought the fancy valve cores and the packets of balance beads and it was great. That is until I needed more and could not get them quickly. In the sporting good of Walmart, I found Air-Soft pellets. I bought a jar and put nice amounts into zip lock bags that I took to the tire store. They thought it was strange, but they worked great.
They are even better on the front where it mattered a lot. Sometimes, when I am getting up to speed there is a little shake that soon disappears.
I'm never going to pay for "balancing" again.
