Just picked up some new tires. I bought Toyo's at first but the shop couldnt get them ballanced( 4 trys two different shops ), so they replaced them with these. They are Cooper Zeon LTZ's, I didnt even know that Cooper made a 20" tire, ballanced on the first try.

 

looks good...

 

You dont need to balance tires any longer - theres no need to use those hammer on or stick on weights - should have gotten yourself some tire balancing beads:

but what if the tire is out of round.... i've seen quite a few Toyo tires that are OOR

 

Am I reading that right? There sticking a bunch of BBs in a tire and it automaticly balances it all the time?
If so that IS innovative.

 

yeah they toss in BBs and they will naturally move to where the tire is out of balance. I have never used em myself, but the tire shop I had my tires mounted at told me about em.

 

Yup...theres a bunch of different brands on the market...these are supposed to be the best.

 

Now that is cool. I might have to try those just to see if they work. I hate what the weights do to the edge of the rims.

 

Yeah, now youll never have to deal with that again.

Ive heard the use these beads to balance the big Michelin Military tires (they start at 38" and go up from there). Cant say for sure but I would imagine a few of them would be out of round too.

Check them out guys.

 

Thanks for the info Doc.
