I will still 100% stand by the fact, and would put money on...the fact that if static balancing "solved" the problem, something is still fawked.

Static balancing, especially on anything over a 15" wheel...is sh*t.

A bandaid has been applied, and the actual issue was never solved.

EDIT: The only way tape (static) weights are superior, is because you can clump a sh*tload of them in one area. You can only stack so many weights on a lip before it starts throwing things off.

But, then again, if you'd hit that point in tape weights...the tire/wheel combo usually needs a closer look.
You can dynamic balance tires with stick on weights.
