I would think it does for sure, but it would be picked up at the next balance anyway if not to uncomfortable before needing balancing.

The centrifugal mass does add up. I have put my sensors on post wheel balancing. The only time I have noticed the wheels out of balance was when mud built up unevenly on the inside face of the rim. Had to stop & clean it off.

I've had them on for at least 10 years and never noticed any imbalance.

Mine being the External ones are taken off when  the D-Max goes in for servicing.

I use balance beads. They also take care of the bud in the rims. :)
Cheers,

 Each tyre has 400g of 4mm diameter ceramic balls rattling around inside.

They provide dynamic balancing as you drive.

Good for the life of the tyre.

Cheers,

Peter
