meme this question

Why is it acceptable to have to balance tires? Tires might rotate at 2000 RPM on a race car...I have other parts of my car that rotate at much higher speeds, but I assume they are built to higher tolerances.

Is it because rubber is harder to work with than other materials? is it because it is simply cheaper to fix it after the fact? Is it because tires may wear unevenly? Hard braking etc.?

Just curious...
