Anyone balance their own tires.
I just bought 4 new wide white radials from coker,
mounted them up and went to balance them. Each one is looking for 5+ ounces
mounted on the outside of the rim and 2 on the inside and none of them look to
be running true. I thought I was doing something wrong with the balancer or
something (first time using it by myself), but I had a buddy come over, we even
dismounted and rotated the tire on the rim. Still had the same
problem.
Then we checked just the rim, the rim was straight
as was .5 ounces to balance just the rim.
My next call is to Coker to talk to them about it.
Wondering if anyone else had any experience. If
these were $25 crap tires, that would be one thing, but I paid alot of money for
these things and I wasn't expecting to have to run 6 ounces of weight around the
outside of the rim.
I also remounted an old tire and that needed 2 on
the outside and 1 on the inside. To me seems like defective tires.
Thanks,
Nick
copuled with the shop screwing up my brake drum,
and me realizing that I did not have the right valves in stock after I pulled
the old ones out of the rims. it's been a bad week for the
car.
