Balancing tires
Has anyone had problems balancing their slicks?
I was having an issue balancing a slick just recently, it would not come around! Talking to an old school tire guy, he told me about a mark on a tire(s) that he always used to locate the valve stem position. After emailing a race tire company's tech guy, he told me that the above mentioned mark is an inspection mark. I may be the only one that does not know about "the mark", but, once I re-positioned my slick and stem to the "mark", the tire balanced up great!! BTW I am using tubes & rim screws. Terry K |

I never balance slicks. And haven't used tubes in awhile.

We do not run tubes
BUT WE do balance slicks and Duct Tape over the Weights! |
Re: Balancing tires
Just got the Cuda painted, White with Blue billboards, new front tires and wheels that the local tire shop mounted and balanced with hammer on weights. First trip down the track one of the weights escapes the wheel and hits the very top of the inter fender. It looked like it was hit with a ball pein hammer.
Use stick on weights and duct tape over them. |

s the light spot in the tire and should be lined up with the valve stem. I don't think Slicks have them though. |
Re: Balancing tires
I bubble balance the slicks and spin balance the fronts.
