Just wondering if i should get it re-balanced or what not, my car doesnt seem to shake and drives fine. What should i do..please not flaming

 

Get the wheel rebalanced.

 

no shake = let it slide.

 

yep

 

put it this way, your wheel is going to get off balance whether you got the balance on or off.. if no shaking then you're fine until the next time you get them re-balanced - do it every 3000 miles

 

Thanks guys for your input, ill just go tomorrow and get it rebalanced.

 

OT: What's everyone's obsession with Gary Coleman?!?!

 

You are wrong, get it rebalanced or you suffer the consequences of irregular ware on the tire.

 

Tip: Avoid costco dude.

 

Really? Bad experiance?

Denny, I took mine to Tire America down N. Bristol, seemed to do alright for me.

 

lol I haven't had my tires balanced in 20k miles. they are def out of balance and there is absolutely no abnormal tire wear.

 

really really bad experience. Check a thread made by surferX.

I took mine to the same America's Tire. They are great Bit expensive but great.

 

I always get confused.... Tire America, America's Tire.... ahh

Glad I'm not the only one who went there.

 

disregard the fact that it fell off, wheel weights are useless

 

i had no problem with my steel rims and snow tires at costco.. but then again who really cares anyways..i wonder what they'd say if i went back and said they scratched my steel rim..:0

 

I take my car to America Tires. They do a good job and they torque your tire!!! Just got it rebalanced and stuff. Plus they did it for free!!
to the America Tire in Lake Forest on Aspen!!

 

Seems a bit excessive, isn't it?

 

Rebalance it if you have nice/new tires that you don't want to ruin. If you have crap tires, don't worry about it!

 

Rebalance it anyway. It is suggested that you rebalance at 6000-8000 miles. For those of you who say it doesnt affect anything!! Yeah right, it sure does! It prevents abnormal tire wear and for the guy who has 20K miles on his tires and hasnt balanced it, try rebalancing now and Im sure you would feel a difference.

Whoever balances your wheels should balance the wheels using the "Fingers." Its alot more precise than using your standard single stud (through the center) technique.

Uh Oh!
<-------- balances wheels only when he gets new tires

 

maybe, maybe not i got 32,000 miles on my s-03's with plenty of tire spinning - theres still enough thread left for another 10-20K miles - if i didn't do burn outs with these tires, i would definately get 50K miles, i'm not sure at this point.., to help with wear, I cross mounted the tires at 30K

- before this i went through 2 sets of re010 with 15K on each set - i rotated every 6-7K miles and they were more worn on the inside...

 

i balance mine for free and whenever i want . it doesn't change, i dont think it's neccessary to do it every 6k miles.

 

Well, I guess that settles it.

 

rebalanced itll be real cheap 4 only 1 wheel
