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.

If spinning the tire on the wheel 180 degrees doesn't fix it have them balance just the wheel to see if the wheel or the tire is the issue .

Depending on what method they used to balance the wheel you may or may not be able to easily fix the issue .
