The type of weights used shouldn't matter, only the final results.

If the wheel was originally balanced correctly, and the tire was installed properly (yellow/green dot aligned with the rim valve opening), then you should never have to perform a wheel balance again. The only reason you would have to re-balance the wheel is if the original weights fell off, or you installed the new tire in the wrong position on the rim. Basically what you are balancing is the rim not the tire. Tires are made so well that they come from the manufacturer balanced.
