It was balanced 0-0 but it was not a good job done.

I always have vague doubts about the centrality of the adapters added to the spindle of a balancer, plus the accuracy of attaching the wheel to be balanced. But it's not unusual to see how non-circular a tyre can appear while being spun.

Thanks for your reply.

This was the second time I had returned to this tyre shop as the first time they had incorrectly used 2 different types of weights - ones for alloy and ones for steel wheels. I could also see that with weights fitted in multiple places all around the wheel that they didn't know what they were doing. It was balanced 0-0 but it was not a good job done.

they do if the balance is a long way out as too many stick on weights could cause some to fall off which used to happen in a small area, so they fit steel wheel rim weights usually fitted to the inner rim so you don`t see it, but it does the same job without the problems of fitting or sticking weights all in the same area

not sure what you mean by not a good job, as weights are as good as it gets looks wise and have to be fitted as machine tells you to fit, otherwise you chase the imbalance around the wheel, been there done it...
