Spot on, it did have draw backs too in that rotating tyres could mean having to rebalance, i used to balance both on and off the car, and as Vx says the effect inside the car of some judders not tyre related could be reduced by on car balance, probably in hndsight not always a good thing.

Just out of interest in those days Michelins usually required little if any correction, just span them up to check, where other makes could need a lot of weights to correct.

CP, istr Reno's being similar.
