Hello LWOOD, No, it was not loosing wheel weights. With the reg. spin bal. All the tires would be about an oz out of balance within 50 miles. That unbalance and the stiffer sidewalls made for a very rough ride. The shake in the steering wheel rough.

II Kings, You are right. From what I understand, The machine puts a load of about 1500 lbs on the tire. That gives, on the car conditions, to the tire. I don't have any real knowledge. Just by what others have told me. Some say that is the only way to balance these tires. I even have a slight unbalance on the orig. tires that they put back on. I watched them balance, each time, and they would balance them to 0.

I believe that things are getting a little to complicated for us old guys (speaking of me). IT's bad when the largest tire sales company (Sears) dosn't have the proper equipment, to balance tires anymore. That's not ment to slam Sears. There effort was A+. Also they will match the Net prices.
