Hi FastAssHAccord and to answer your ? yes street or the strip, you always balance your street tires or your slicks.

Good luck man. I used to come across this question at the shop alot when people would buy slicks or radials.

Question though, Jonh or anyone who knows. What if you cant get a prefect balance out of the slick and its slightly off. Would it affect the tire more since it gets more abused than per say a street tire and has less life?

Hi (-BEN-) I have not seen a street tire or a slick that I have not been able to balance, now I have had to turn the slick a 1/4 of a turn on the wheel to balance and sometimes a 1/2. Now the slicks would have to be off big time to affect the performance of the slick, will say about 7oz or a wheel that is bent.

I hope this answers your ?
