I have a pair of MT ET Streets, I see that MT recommends a static balance with a bubble balancer. The problem I'm finding is that none of my local tire shops use a bubble balancer any more.
Do you guys have your slicks balanced? If so, how?

Any tire shop with a hunter or coats balancer can static balance. Besides a bubble balancer only works on steel wheels.

NOBODY uses bubble balancers anymore. Any tire shop with a fairly recent machine and a competent tech to operate it should be able to do it.

Don't waste your time and money balancing bias ply slicks. The tire will spin in the rim anyways so it's pointless. If it's beadlocked then that's a different story

I Always balance slicks. Like stated above most newer balancers will be able to do static balance.
