Tire balance so sensitive on the Box

lastweek I noticed alot of vibration in my steering wheel at speeds 70mph and up, On saturday i was on the 110 North and the vibration went from bad to real bad and then i heard a peice of metal boucing under and out from under my car then the vibration calmed abit..but it was still there.

I went to a tire shop and told them to balance my front wheels cause i suspect that my balancer flew off on the freeway just now, Turns out i was right but the Balance was off by 2.5 ounces on the driverside and 1 ounce on the passenger side but the tech told me that usually you souldnt feel vibration with that little bit of unbalance, but he got it to 0 out so now im perfectly balanced, I went on the freeway and it was as smooth as Sadam Hussiens face before he decided to sleep under ground and grow a beard.

In short...Our wheels are very sensitive to the slightest touch of unbalancing.
