Just what you said: to balance wheel/tire assemblies. Before spin
balancers, this was an accepted method of statically balancing a wheel.

Hope its still accepted. I have one like bill's and my own tire changer
machine. Static balancers do as good a job as the new dynamic units, but
they are fussy and slow. Two traits that don't go well with the work you get
at wally world etc.

Same here. I have a manual changer and a nice Coates as well. Balancer
machines are nice BUT there are a bunch of tires you cannot do unless
you either buy a dedicated machine OR a bunch of adapter hardware. So
for them I use the static bubble. It just takes a brain to use it and
you HAVE to pay close attention.
