You won't. If it is balanced by any system, it is balanced, period, unless something changes.
When I put my new tires on, I checked them on a bubble balancer. They were off. Instead of lead weights I used Dyna Beads. They ride smooth.
About slow speeds...imbalance doesn't show up significantly at slow speeds unless the imbalance is really huge, which isn't likely to happen. I don't notice any changes as I go from a stop to whatever speed I'm riding at. It's smooth all the way.
