I have done enough driving where I saw 5 psi or more differences in the pressure of the inner and outer tire to know the tires are not performing equally and the end result would be abnormal wear or worse.

There are also a couple options where you can mount the indicator to the center hub if that helps with your balance concern. I chose to mount it off the lug because it was clean and it is still close to the center of the axle vs being close to the outer part of the wheel where the centripetal forces would be higher and balance issues would be more susceptible.

As I stated previously.... this is just my assessment after my own research. Each person needs to do their own research and make their own decision as to what is best for their situation.
Thank you for that. See? You are a good guy

Now, how to mount it to the wheel hub. I just love a challenge.
