quick roadforce question?

I'm about to get my 19" rims/tires mounted and installed.
There is a tire shop around my house that has good reviews. But I'm not sure on the price. $28 each wheel, and $8 more for road force. The price seems steep compared to other shops Ive been to, but the other shops only balanced and mounted my stock 17".

Should I get it road force balanced? Since it is 19" rims with 225/40 and 255/35 profile tires. Would it be better of to get road force balanced?


"road force is a balance which takes separate measurements of the rim & tire & then measures both together with a pressured load to simulate the weight of the car
in English: it is a much more precise balance & can eliminate the small imperfections that are innate in all wheels & tires when they are new."

Is it necessary to get road force if your rims/tires are 19"? Seems like a better option?

Really up to you honestly. We feel works well enough that all of tire/wheel packages are mounted with Hunter road force machines. If you're spending good money on wheels and tires, what's a few more $ to make sure you get the best balance. That's the way I feel about it.
