so what is the best balancing method

tmm, no, I haven't done that. up until now I didn't know the tires was out until I pulled the wheels off and one of the sticky weights fell on the floor and another was completely missing on the rear and found more missing on the front wheels. I just had them balanced last fall and have not put many miles on them. that's what has me concerned about getting them balanced right and the purpose of this thread.
