Don't really think its necessary. Unless you are old school pro and have hundreds of hours on ice. Then well why not just concetrating on running your line, keeping pace and HANGING ON.

If you decide to run a CS it takes approx. 500 screws per tire. Yes there is a weight significance. Will it not be perfectly balanced? No definetly not. But I don't forsee it as a concern right now IMO.

Get it set, Git it RAGGGGGG.

When I was flat tracking I went 80+ around the big track in Tampa on more then one occasion, I never really felt the need to balance the rears. I think the front would have been beneficial.

Maybe it'd be different up there, but theres no way anyone around here would spin up a studded tire and balance it at a store. Hell I could barely get them to mount my studded holshots I made just as play tires :lol:

When I was at the dealer show, there was a company that sold small beads.

You removed your valve core and inserted a certain amount for the size of tire, and aired up your tires.

They way they worked, was the beads rolled around in the tire at any speed and automatically found the low spot in the casing, and self balanced the tire at all times. They were pretty cheap,and they said they used them on superbikes and worked really well.They were consistent in they way the work.Always adjusting to the tire flex, temperature etc..

This is them here.

That's like the same stuff the truckers use in their tires called Equal.
