Here is the quote from Lamont's website:
If they have a tire that needs more than an ounce, they replace the tire. Because of the limited space we have to work with the most product they can get in the Spyder ring is 3oz. If you have a wheel and tire that needs more than that, he recommends zero balancing the tire as best you can and then using the Centramatic as a dynamic balancer. This will compensate for tire wear and adjust as needed to a wheel that's not quite right. So we now recommend that you see how many weights you have on your wheel and if it's 3oz or more to leave the weights on.
What Centramatics won't do is compensate for an out of round tire, a bent rim or a hub or axle issue. It may even make it worse.
I think if you get yourself a good tire and not the cheap ones, those new tires should require less weights and you may be able to get away with just using the tire balancers.
