The how to looked good what got my eye was the weights on the front tire you did first I would take them back and have them rebalanced someone placed two weights on wheel and then a quarter way around another weight. means tire not balanced correctly. but good how to

 

why does that mean they werent balanced right? It is very likely that the wheel or tire were out of balance in a few sections. Tire machines go with the higher weight first, you put those, respin and the other out of balance shows up....i worked at a tire shop for 8 years, eventually becoming manager. Having to put weights in a few sections is extremely common, especially on used tires, or wheels that have slight imperfections accumulated over the years.

 

Good eye but what it actually is, is the previous owner actually spray painted the wheel black with the weights on it and then when I got new tires it left a silver space that looks like a weight... Lol Im going to get new wheels at some point and have the tires put on them. Thanks for looking out though!

 

Not going to go back and forth anybody that works at a tire shop and knows what he or she is doing will never have two sets of weights on a tire to balance it! I also worked at tire shop and Dad owned a tire shop for 30 + years. if the tires is not balanced when first weight placement you turn tire on wheel and rebalance plain and simple!

 

okay if you say so. Just letting you know it is EXTREMELY common to have an out of balance tire/wheel in more then 1 spot
