His experiences are stuck in a bit of a time capsule and don't always relate to modern vehicles. I bet in the days of soft compound, tall aspect ratio tires on leaf springs, you could get away with not balancing rear tires (until you rotated them). Its not that they were not out of balance, you just didn't feel it much. Modern low profile tires on a modern suspension, no way.

I watch him for the entertainment value, which can be funny, Like his name implies, he is like that old Uncle you had that has an opinion on everything.

He does resonate on a few topics and sadly with the current state of aftermarket parts, buyer beware.
