[QUOTE="Auburn, post: 1451360, member: 5661"] Since everyone has gone down the rabbit hole. Did the guy ever go ride it? My guess is you could remove all the weights and he would not know the difference. Tire wear would show, but he would not feel any difference unless he is well over 100 mph and even then the suspension would probably take care of it. That being said, I have done about 200 sets of tires or more at my tech meets. I have seen tires that needed no weights and tires that needed more than what this one has. Even after breaking the bead and moving the tire around. How much weight does it take to balance the wheel without the tire on it? Many would be surprised by how much it can take. Some tires are just ******. They can be off by a bunch on the balance. My advice, go ride it. If you feel something, then take it back (but most likely in your head now that your worried about the number of weights on the rim). As Iggy said Ride more, Stress less. [/QUOTE]
