Balancing Racing Slicks
Why do most rear slicks get bubble balanced ? Is there a problem spin balancing slicks ?

Re: Balancing Racing Slicks
A friend spin balances mine. Quicker & cheaper to bubble balance at the track.

Re: Balancing Racing Slicks
I spin balance never noticed any issues on track with vibration. Always did radials maybe bias tires have issues?

Re: Balancing Racing Slicks
Anyone know how fast a spin balancer spins? I thought about 500 rpm, sounds about right. That would keep a normal street tire (26" diameter) under 60 mph. At 60 mph , even a bias ply drag slick would not grow much.

Re: Balancing Racing Slicks
You will still find an imbalance you won't find with a bubble balancer. Split your weicght too needs four ounces? Put two front side, two back side.
