Duct tape rip’s right off and I usually have to spend about 10 minutes getting off the wheel weights and adhesive off and cleaned up. Am I the only one that has thought this, where did the duct tape thing come from?
Duct Tape helps to seal the tape on weight adhesive from the elements - dirt, water, etc. that will cause the adhesive to lose its grip. That's what I was told by Firestone 40 years ago.
