The tires only have 30 miles on them but they are noticeably quieter and don't tramline at all now. The Bridgestones did it often, I haven't seen anybody else notice that benefit. Here are a few pics of the damage and tires installed.

I don't know why they scrape off the weights. You can spray anything using a carbon-tetrachloride base (like brake cleaner) and let it set for 5 minutes and the glue on the weights will soften to the point where the weights come of using your hand. They should have to replace the entire wheel IMHO.
