Are these tires any good?
. For balancing all what was needed was the equivalent of the weight of the valves.
That's amazing. I haven't seen that, lately, on major US brands.
The TPMS sensors are part of the valve assembly. Back a million or so years ago when part of my job at the time was mounting and balancing tires, the practice was to rotate the tire on the rim if there was an excessive amount of weight needed to balance the tire. Often you could then get balance with fewer/smaller weights.. One would expect them on the opposite side of the valves to compensate but I didn't look when they were open.

Well, most of the time. Some are banded to the inside of the rim.
