Good tool! one thing I was taught a while back was to jack up the wheels and use a something steady to hold a marking device or even just something sharp that will scratch a line onto the tire(I have used an old hacksaw blade with a point cut onto it) Hold the marking tool against the tire while being held steady on a jackstand or whatever and spin the tire to mark a straight line around the circumference of the tire. Use that line to measure off of. This will help compensate for any runout you may have in the wheel or tire assembly.
