Thanks to all.....do your new tires usually balance pretty good or do they have a shimmy....my dealer said he is going to use powder to balance....just wondering...I'd hate to have a shimmy all the way to Alaska and back...ugh
Nooo. Get them spin balanced, period. They balance as well as any other tire and do not have a "shimmy."
VSP - find (*run* to) a different dealer!
(that guy has been snorting some kind of "powder")
Grit dog is 100% correct - *ANYTHING* that rotates should be balanced.
Tires are the easiest (and least expensive) of all the "anythings" to balance.
Spin balance and external weights..:C
