My first attempt at balancing my own tires. I think I nailed it perfectly.


I'm not the fastest FJ rider, I am 'half-fast', the fastest slow guy....

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

You need something mechanical to hold the weight....don't rely on the adhesive...

Some self tapping sheet metal screws 'ought to do it.....and a little dab of sealant just to be safe....

The horrors....

Looks good to me. It's inside the chicken strip.

We're not a club. Clubs have rules. Pay dues. Wear hats and shit.

That is almost a bicycle tire, the weights look like half the tire weight.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Probably should wrap with duct tape to ensure they don't fall off. Plus it will increase tread life
