You'd be surprised just how many wheels are badly buckled and need lots of weights all over the place. A good tyre fitter will mention this to you. Many don't, so you can't say when the damage might have occured. They're gambling on the simple fact that most people have absolutely no idea what is involved in balancing a wheel properly.
And that includes most fitters ;D

Or the dots. Even if they don't know what the lines are for, the dots are essential to tyre fitting

They let me loose on everything for their sins, Ozzy  :D ;D

Good fun when I forgot to drain the line to my buzz gun of compressed air  :o

5m line shot across the room and smacked a car and dented it  :o ::)
