Apex ARC8 Road Force Balancing?

Hey guys. I just did the apex group buy and bought new tires as well.

I'm just curious: do I need to get the new wheels road force balanced?

Or just regular shop with regular balancing machine?

Thanks!

I would specifically seek out Road Force balancing. The wheels themselves are pretty consistent, but tires (even quality ones like Michelin) can have quite a bit of variance in weight distribution simply due to how tires are constructed.

Road Force balancing is the only way to find any hard or soft spots in the tire that won't be detected on a typical spin balancer.
