No tire is perfect...aka's have shown to be out upwards of 6g+ on some of the Citi's and I-beams.....Grid Iron's are better as they are a lighter carcass but for the most part its the foams that are out not the tire.

After speaking to Gil this weekend at the pit...AKA is looking to do their foams IN house which will be the First mfg to do so....All other molded foams are from "over there" and have a % that they have to be between and Gil mentioned that as good as the current foams are....the next gen will need to be in house to Tighten up those number's to make the Be All End All best product they can produce.

All im saying is that there isn't a 100% perfectly balanced tire out there....ever wonder why you need full size car/truck tires balanced....same principle just on a much larger scale.

geejay balancers are cheap...pick one up one day and play with it...see what you come up with....Worst case scenario you wasted 20$.
