Anyone have an idea how to balance the tires on the Lambrettas?
Thanks

You balance wheels not tyres. ;)

Never heard of it being necessary on a Lambretta wheel tbh, if you are experiencing wheel wobble then I would first check that your rims are running true, some aren't very round apparently.

Some split rim pairs I've owned over the years have been pretty awful.
