Recommendation for a good wheel balance shop?

I'm pretty ambivalent about the Roadforce thing to be honest. Usually if nothing's wrong with the car even a static balance is good enough. It can't hurt, but I'm not

I'm pretty ambivalent about the Roadforce thing to be honest. Usually if nothing's wrong with the car even a static balance is good enough. It can't hurt, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to find such a machine. But yes, those machines are supposed to detect all sorts of problems with the tire itself. I'm not 100% confident they would see a lateral wear-pattern problem from toe issues, though. The best way to see that is to spin the wheel on a balance machine and actually stare at the tread groove visually and see if it wobbles back and forth or looks straight.
