Yep. They put mine on to show me a buckle/flat spot on one of mine, which surprised me as there were no signs it was buckled before. After the tyre was fitted and balance you wouldn't know it was buckled either.

You could always just run it down a slight slope or something. Any obvious buckle should stand out a mile.
