DIY tire balance

[Shane Mckinley]

I came across this video. Didn’t look at the age of it... thoughts? I’m sure I need to rebalance because I’m noticing wear on the front tires. More on one side than the other. So a rotation is in order which I can do at home. I just wondered about the balancing

Depends on the wear. An unbalanced tire will basically bounce, so picture how that would wear. Outer/inner edges, feathering, are signs of alignment issues. I posted this on the other thread for ya,

I've used airsoft BB's in my last three sets of tires, and have been very happy with the results. I was tired of loosing weights off-roading, which is why I went the airsoft route.
