1. A method for reducing imbalance correction weight usage during a balancing operation of a vehicle wheel assembly, comprising:
determining a measured imbalance characteristic associated with the vehicle wheel assembly; and
determining at least one placement location and imbalance correction weight amount sufficient to compensate the vehicle wheel
assembly for a reduced imbalance characteristic which is less than said measured imbalance characteristic.
