Wheel balancing using 'road force' technology - any good?

[Paul Kelley]

Great claims are made by this business www.balancemycar.co.uk using something called Hunters Road Force technology. After an initial enquiry they say it can be applied to any wheels and tyres including classics with off-centre castings. Cost is quoted at £25 per wheel plus VAT, i.e. £120 for four wheels.
Anyone had any experience of using it? At face value it sounds good but is clearly not cheap (although less than new wheels). I get a persistent judder at motorway speeds despite new tyres and conventional balancing, so am tempted to try more sophisticated balancing as next step.
As ever, forum feedback appreciated.

Have a look at this for a explanation of how it differs from traditional off vehicle balancing

Thanks Nigel. Have you used it yourself and, if so, would you recommend it?

Hi Paul,

No, I haven't used it my self but when I was in the motor trade I had seen this type of balancer and remember they were quite expensive compared with standard machines, hence the higher price for use.

If you have a definite well issue it could be well worth a go.

OK thanks Nigel, I'll give it a go once the weather improves and they stop chucking salt and grit about.
