[Healeys] wheel balancing

[Oudesluys]

Shaving tyres should not be necessary with modern tyres. Classic car 
tires are basically modern tyres with a classic profile. It is very 
seldom that the profile is that much out of true. Usually rotating the 
tire a bit over the rim several times will settle them. Of course you 
have to establish that your rims are true in the first place.
If you have your tyres shaved have it done when the tyres are properly 
run in and seated after several thousands of miles.
