Can someone confirm the amount of Ride On to put in tires?  I have the chart but I want first-hand confirmation.  Posted on Tech also.
Thnx.

I just used ride on for the first time to fix a very slow leak. I interpreted the chart
to say that I needed 11oz in my rear Avon. It worked.

Thanks.  I found a calculator on the Ride On site.  I must have some kind of mental vapor lock, today.

Just for future info....I know it doesn't matter now with the warmer weather,But I changed tires back in the winter and removed all weights and added ride on. I thought I had made a mistake but after some thought I figured as cold as it was the ride on would have a harder time balancing out in the tires......The damn thing vibrated like your wife's BOB(battery operated boyfriend) As the days warmed it was smoother and now is smoother than it has ever been.  
My rear wheel has always required lots of weight no matter what tire brand I used...The wheel it self is badly balanced.With the ride on in it is better than ever.

84°F during installation.  Both tires are new with only a few hundred miles on them.  The guy who balanced the rear has some kind of antique spin balance  and said he couldn't  get it dead on.   I left the weights on both tires. 
I had a puncture in the rear tire, last trip, coupled with an out-of-round front it made for and interesting ride home.  By the time I Slimed the tire it was beginning to de-laminate.  I'm hoping to head off another such incident.

Speaking with Highbinder at Hotglues is the main reason I went with Ride On rather than Dyna Beads.  That and the hassle I had getting home on a flat.

I use 14 ozs in my 205/60/16 car tire and don't even bother with lead balancing weights.
