Force Wheel Balancing
Can someone please explain what "force wheel balancing" is and a rough estimate of the cost. Having trouble with wheel balance and have heard this referenced many times.

I believe it's actually "road force balancing" and it refers to the wheel being spun while pressure is on it similar to having weight on the tire as when mounted on the car. The tire's configuration will change under those conditions and having it balanced that way helps match what it will be like on the car.
