Default Road force balance number

I am putting a set of Conti Extreme Contact DW's with the next couple weeks. Gonna have them RoadForce Balanced. What are good numbers to look for When they're done?

There hasn't been much discussion about what is best, or at least what one should hope to achieve.

I had a guy who was satisfied with a RF of 22 on one of my tires, couldn't figure out why the car was vibrating. As someone said, you can have a square that is perfectly balanced but it won't roll very smoothly.
