Neat machine. Tire pull is caused by a tire issue and not balance. They basically state their machine identifies possible issue so you can be aware before you bolt it up, and maybe put the tire is a different spot to go around the issue. The machine does not 'fix' the pull. At least that is how I read it. Sometimes you can do what they say and move it around until the pull is negated, such as putting the tire in the back). IMO a tire with a pull is no good and should be covered under warrantee if it causes an issue.

Adam you are right about tape-a-weights. Older balancers expect the weight to be added to the rim lip and of course tape weights are closer to the center, causing issues since you are not doing what the machine tells you.
