Tired of Tires

Heres my tire story, I put on a set of Michelin City Grips on last week. I ask the shop to not balance them, as was suggested to me.
They told me to first ride about a 100 miles, and then IF you felt it was needed add 1 ounce of tyre beads in the front, and 2 ounces in the rear, for our 12" tires.
IMHO, the ride is different. Can I say it was like night to day? Nah, but the beads did work as weights do.
Now since wednesday morning, I've put almost 800 miles running from PA to NC, and all through the twisty curvy wonderful rodes here in the Blue Ridge mountains.
These tires are road glue, and just love the curves, wet or dry.
I dont mean any disrespect to anyones opinions.
