Hi everybody;
Re: tires (tyres for you folks who have a boot and a bonnet...);
I have chosen not to balance any of the tires I have bought for the last 20
years or so for myself and girl-friend and brother and mother, etc. etc. -
about 70 tires in all. All have been top-end Michelins H rated or better.
Not a single one has ever run rough at any speed. I started doing this
when balancing started costing in the $7 range and above. I just do not
think it is necessary or worth it for top quality tires. (also refuse to
replace stems EVERY time for $2.50 a piece - I inspect them before having
tires mounted and decide for myself if they should be replaced - never had
a failure) Maybe 40 or 50 years ago when tire production technology was
not nearly what it is today one could make a case for the necessity of
balancing. But, I trust the top manufacturers to make a round and balanced
tire more than I trust the folks in your local tire shop to calibrate and
operate the balancing machine and install the weights properly. In fact,
the last time I had tires balanced, two ran rough as can be - I pulled the
weights off and all was fine. Anybody else had the same experience? Mi
dos pesos, Tom Woods
