Most tire balance machines "zero" out at something greater than zero, I want to say about 1/8 ounce. You need to find a technician that actually understands how the tire balancer works. Most better shops can handle this. Just go in and ask if the technician knows how to overide the automatic zero or whatever its called. Expect to pay extra for the additional time it will take.

The tire may be out of round, in which case a small amount of shaving will be necessary. If you find a shop that can correct an out of round condition, I'll assume they also understand balancing to less than 1/8 oz.
