You should try to keep the weight you add near the center line of the wheel since you just don't know if the original out of balance issue is caused by too much weight near the outer, inner, or center part of the wheel/foam/tire... So, to be safe, apply your balance weight near the center of the wheel. And if a lot of balance weight is required, try to spread it out and not pile it up in one small surface area. The lead tape works well for this.

Truggy tires are the topic. Buggy tires are much narrower and are not noticeably affected. Same concept applies though.

That is what I am saying, and I believe that is Integra's opinion as well. If so, he'll do the bobble head thing for us.


Well said buddy.
