It also comes down to your rim condition. If the wheel has a slight bend to them, it is worth balancing the setup as it can be really out of balance (+2.50 ounces worth). You don't want that kind of vibration at 100+.

Best advice I can give you is to make sure you mount your tires well in advanced to your track day. I've seen guys mount up the night before and completely throw off their balance as the tire moved on the rim from the lubrication not being allowed to dry first. This is true for balance or not balanced. You'd be surprised how imbalance just a tire can be outside of being mounted to a rim.
lol, I see that he is slow. But thanks for the info, great insight on tires. I'm sure someone else will use this info.
