That's fine as long as you don't feel any vibration. I used to not worry much about it unless I felt the imbalance at high speed, but I had a pair of Avon AM26 Roadrider 90/90-18s on my 100cc roadracer that were so bad that it felt like the wheels were actually bouncing off the road at 60 mph.

Since then I check them all when I mount them, and almost always need to add some weight to get them right. It's a lot easier to balance a wheel while it's off than to have to remove it later when it vibrates.
