OK. Seriously. Canadian Tire is not the place to expect anything mechanical to be done right. Hell, I had to take a tire back to them 3 times to get the valve stem sealed, they can't even do tires correctly.

Don't get repairs done at Crappy Tire.

I had a set of snow tires installed and they didn't balance them.

Hypothetically, if say, a mechanic installed two new tires on my spouse's car recently but didn't balance them, would there be an obvious way to tell?

The car would wiggle a little...a lot. If the unbalanced tire is in front, the steering wheel would wiggle on its own.

Hmm, think it's the back tires (which is also a bit odd, since its a FWD so you'd think they would've put the new ones at the front) but I drove it once since they were replaced and there's a pretty noticeable low droning noise at 40-50km/h, as if there's some vibration and resonance happening

Appreciate the response :)
