Nor could my local tyre place...
but moving the tyre 180 deg on the wheel has worked.
In my mind it shouldn't make any difference - the wheel and tyre are balanced together - but it has for me.

There's so much knowledge on this site, it's scary!!!

...this has me puzzled...if moving the tyre 180 has redistributed the unbalanced masses allowing the balancing machine to provide a solution either a wheel or tyre was way out (i nearly said miles).....once would be OK but the same car both front wheels is too much of a coincidence......All the balancer does is "see" the whole assembly as one rotating mass.......
It would have been interesting to see the correction applied (weights).......before you moved the tyres & after.

.....I once had some Saab wheels re-tyred & by some fluke three didn't need any weights....I wouldn't believe this & the wheels were rechecked before they went on the car

The only thing I have experienced like this is to have one brake disc that was o/o/balance & only wobbled above 60mph

Best of luck or hope your wheels stay in balance

The weights haven't changed much but the position has...

Offside front:
Was 20 grms outside and 10 grms inside over 90 degrees apart.
Now 20 grms outside and 10 grms inside but almost together <10 deg apart
Nearside front:
Was 25 grms outside and 10 grms inside over 90 degrees apart.
Now 10 grms outside and 5 grms inside almost together.

I can't begin to understand what's happened here - A part of me still wonders if it's all just co-incidence, and that the previous three attempts at balancing were just plain wrong! (all at different places) - it could happen...

Anyway, all's OK now.

(Wish I'd bought MTR's now)

Moving the tyres and aligning the marks on the tyre
is not critical to balance.
It just means you need to use less lead.
I suspect that there was a problem with the previous thre balancer.
Balancing wheels is not :Rocket Science"
its just a process of elimination.
