Re: Balancing drag slicks
I don't balance my rear wheels..My last wheels (Pro Stars and M/T drag radials) had no vibrations going low 11's, and my new wheels (Alumastars and M/T drag radials) have no vibrations going low 10's. No screws, no weights...Maybe I'm insane, but so far so good (knock on wood)

Re: Balancing drag slicks
Mark, we have a John Bean balancer, which has enough room even for the 17x34x16 FC tires that roll out @111". .......Stick on weights only!! .....I've seen guys with holes and dents in their body from hammer on weights flying off !!! .....As to not balancing, I've seen a lot of smaller tires ,9x30 ,11x29 ect, that needed very little weight, if any,especially radials on newer high quality wheels. ...Not the wobblers from the past! ....Big tires usually are more likely to need weight ,as the mass is larger, and moves farther from the center of the rim. .....Tom
