Jeff-
I concur... I used to do this myself, good tires usually balance out with an ounce or less. I rarely had a tire I could not fix by breaking the bead and reseating it. I never took issue with doing this as a tire tech. I have also seen shops hit high weights like this because they did not have the wheel seated in the machine correctly, made them do it over.
