What do wheel weights do?

 

Took one of the guys about 9 months to figure it out ha ha. Slapped two sticks on there. Also when I loosened up his valve core it happened to be on his new tire so he went back to big o all pissed off about it

 

Lmao!

 

C-Dawg im not in aurora haha...arvada
Still should be like an hour maybe a bit less provided i don't get lost. I'm bringing a co-pilot so it should be all good

 

Tell me you would not die laughing if you walked out and some stupid dude's truck is sitting on all 4 wheels and he's just standing there scratching his head.
I worked at discount tire in highschool with like 9 of my friends. We did this regularly to each other all the time. I never had to do it to anyone messing with me though, my YJ wasn't around long enough for people to really harass it.
Ever been driving down the road and at like 55-60mph your car / truck feels like it's all of a sudden driving in LA during an earthquake? Just crazy vibes everywhere, especially the steering wheel. Tires are outta balance. When you get new tires they have to balance them to the wheel to try and make them as radially symmetrical from the center of the wheel / hub as possible so you get a smooth ride. Add too much weight to one side of the wheel and now it's outta balance, at speed the rubber will not roll symmetrically and it'll vibe everything....

 

??? Are these wheel weights?? I have slight death wobble at 35 mph

 

What path are you planning on taking to 7mile? I'm in Fort Collins and it still takes us like 45 minutes to get there... Traffic in the canyon pending

 

Yes, and at 35 it shouldn't be an issue with the balance. As for the way it's balanced.... Lazy haha

 

Same difference lol and who is it ?

 

Why do I have DW then... New trac bar, trac bar bracket, all tres, tie rod and drag link, upper and lower ball joints, brand new tires, adjustable ucas, adjuatable lcas, ujoints and wheel bearings tight....

 

Oh I'd be laughing like none other

 

It says from my house in Loveland it's about a hour

 

U have good steering angles ? Idk lol

 

Yes good angles, really good

 

I haven't a clue honestly... I dunno what death wobble is cause I haven't had to experience it first hand yet, so I haven't read much about it. As for the tires, with all that new stuff and assuming it's all aligned, I'd just go back and complain about vibes and have em rebalanced.... If it were me, I'd ask for weights on the outsides of the wheels and not 1 strip down the middle.... But when I wanna be picky I just drive back to where I used to work when I visit the folks and have my friend do it so I can be extra picky... Hammered on weights on the back of the wheels, tape on the outside, that way they stay balanced and It doesn't matter if I drag a wheel across a rock cause it won't rip off the tape weights (credit where it's due, I don't remember 100% but I think Josh told me about that last trick)
