So do you disagree with "We have found that the only way to accurately match mount replacement tires on used original or new aftermarket wheels is to use Hunter tire balancers which have the ability to measure wheel runout and tire force variations under load before the tire and wheel are installed on the vehicle. Using these machines, a colored dot might be positioned anywhere on the wheel relative to each wheel's runout measurement. In the end, the markers have little, if any, relevance when replacement tires are installed."
Are you bringing new OEM rims and tires to the shop? If not, Tirerack says the dots are meaningless, and the Hunter does the "match mounting." And the Hunter will do the same for all OEM. Tirerack fails to note one thing. "True match mounting" will entail measuring all 4 rims and tires for the car, then matching each tire to the rim best suited to it. This will minimize weights. But it will also require dismounting and remounting some tires after the measurements are made. It may minimize weights, but will still be imperfect, because any rim can distort and change the tire measurement taken on it. It's really an exercise in futility without endless dismounting and remounting to further refine measurements. And the dismounting and remounting will further increase distortions of measurement. So you'll never get close to perfection. You want to pay for this endless nonsense? You can find somebody to satisfy that urge. Up to you. Yellow pages. I'll say it once more. Take it to a shop that sells and balances a lot of tires with a Hunter. Stay out of their hair. Don't mention dots. Take it for a spin at whatever speed you desire. If you get vibration, take it back to the shop for rebalance. It's really that simple.
