A static balancer works ok if the tire/wheel combo has an unbalance mass in the center of the tread width. If the unbalance mass is offset, i.e. towards a sidewall, a static balancer will not correct it. A dynamic, i.e. spin balancer detects the off-center mass and corrects for it by putting the weights in the proper location on the wheel rimThe bancer displays the amount of the required weight and rim location to cancel the unbalance mass. i used to typically balance to a final value of .1oz. which amounts to a sheet metal clip weight back in my days at Sun Electric.
