This is a problem I see with a LOT of tire places that have Technicians
balance tires who don't know what the F**K they are doing.

If they balanced the tires with the LABELS on them, the labels act like parachutes while the tire is spinning.
The whole thing gets balanced with this, and then they are mounted on the car.
You take out your car and get on the highway.
Once the labels are scrubbed off, the parachute effect goes away and the tires are unbalanced.

If it was done right the first time, you wouldn't be going back.

When you get there, look around to see if anyone is balancing tires.
Look to see if the LABEL is spinning around with the tire.
If see it being done, point it out to the shop manager,
and explain to him that is why you had to come back.
