Yeah we mainly do it on really big trucks with tires that are too big to fit under our balancer, but all my mustang friends are running them as well. They work awesome.

Sounds good man glad I saw this. They'd work fine or regular all seasons right? I'm assuming the type of tire i.e, summer, all season doesn't really matter

If there are more the 2-3 weights on yoru rim the shop has no idea what they are doing

Anytime you get past that point they should dismount the tire, rotate it 1/4 turn then remont it and rebalance

Yeah at the tire shop we have balancing beads. The bead bags are rated for a certain size tire, and you just throw them inside the tire and they balance theirselves

WTF are bead bags? Need pics, maybe i have yanked these off to put our weights on lol.

Not true. Sometimes there is nothing you can do about the balance of certain tires.

Eagle RSA's, certain Michelins, Dunlops, Bridgestones.

No amount of spinning a tire can fix it sometimes, trust me.

Yeah... people that work at a tire shop are way too lazy to take the tire back off and rotate it 90% of the time. Lol. And most of the times it just doesn't make a difference. And some wheels just won't balance up right. For example, Jeep Commander, some Honda Odysseys, some Lexus's, etc. They just won't balance right for some reason.



Tally, they're literally bags with a certain amount of beads in them. You just open the bag, throw it in the tire, and air it up and the tire is balanced. I love them.
