What do you think? I have wheel screws in them but the shop did not blance them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
Hell, My Goodyears were balanced but the wieghts come off one side 2nd time out.(I ran them like this for 70 passes) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
What do you think? I will be racing Saturday and Sunday. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
PS. Yes the weights were taped on. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

yes, I would ballance them. Get them to use the stick on weights on the inside then you can put duct tape over them to make sure they don't come off. Its an old drag racers trick..but you already know that. The side weights seem to have trouble with the flexing sidewall from what I have seen. Some people get away with it but I prefer the inside stickon solution. That is if you ls1 guys have the brake clearance for the stick ons.
