I have a Metzler static balancer. Works great.

+1 on the Marc Parnes balancer. The less expensive ones may look the same, but trust me, they aren't.

I quit balancing my tires a couple pairs ago. I can't tell the difference. No roads around here smooth enough to feel an unbalance.

I quit balancing several years ago, at the end of life of the tire I don't see a difference, and never had a bounce from a new Dunlop.
