Question for everyone

I have always fitted my own tyres and static balanced them on an Abba balancer (because i'm tight)
My GS is still on original tyres and has no weight on the back but 30g on the front. I might take it off when i have time and check it on my balancer.

So, I would be interested to know if someone knows how to answer this question accurately (ie not just a guess):

40k miles is more than 34 million revolutions of the rear wheel (40k x 1.610 / 1.9 / 1000). If it needs 70g of weights (as mine does) but has none, can that contribute to a final drive seal failure directly, or indirectly via wear to bearing from the minimal lateral load?
