Wheel Balancing

(1/3) > >>

Mike:
What would be the reason for a wheel calling for 130 grams of weight to be balanced ? Did the front and it needed 20 grams. These are new Avon Cobras. I thought there was a maximum weight you could use.

Thanks
Mike

I've heard a lot of good things about dynabeads.  I bought a bunch but have not been home long enough to install them.

Before I mount the tire,I find the heavy spot on the rim..mark that with a sharpie..then mount the tire and find the heavy spot..then rotate tire 180 so the sharpie mark and heavy spot on tire are across from each other...sometimes that balances the tire..if not I use dyna beads...rock on dennis

The best reason would be the balance job got screwed up somehow.
But several of the other suggestions are quite valid. I also spot the wheel and tire heavy spots opposite. Rarely do I need weights at all. The Dyna beads work. I hope it's not really 130 grams off. That would be a bad tire.
