Anyway, good to hear you kept it upright and have it sorted now. Have you got a balancing machine, intrigued how you do it at home. Is it easy?
It's not at all dangerous, just causes vibration. Maybe a complete novice might get the wind up them if it vibrates a bit but then shouldn't be going that fast if they are so nervous.

The six and a half sets I've had fitted this year have all been balanced and they were done at 3 different places. I expect a new valve and balancing as a matter of course with new tyres.
