Tyre balancer accuracy - mobile vans?

[Pistonpants]

Need some new tyres and was thinking of getting a halfords mobile fitter to do it on the drive but was wondering if the mobile balancer machines are as accurate as one bolted to a concrete floor in a garage?

Would have thought the suspension in the van would throw out the measurement to some degree.

Anyone have any knowledge on this?

I've used Tyres on the Drive many times - never had an issue

I wouldn't worry about it.

I've had tyres fitted by a mobile fitter and they're balanced fine.

Dont think its an issue given most companies now offer some sort of mobile service. The modern machines are fairly clever.

I had the rears done on my 911 many years ago by a mobile guy so probably on a much older machine and had no issues and that included some high speed runs on an airfield where any issues would have shown up.

I have had tyres balanced in a fixed tyre fitters and it has been wrong. Had tyres balanced by a mobile fitter and it has been fine.

I've just had new tyres all round. Fitted and balanced by Halfords, the car has never felt so smooth. The fitter did an amazing job.
