MORryde ISS safety concern and wheel weights question

[CoChris]

Assuming you have aluminum wheels just ask the tire shop to dynamic balance the tires (put on machine that spins the tire to determine balancing needs), just as they do for cars. Nothing special. Don't worry about lug centric/hub centric.

Hope this helps

Sorry, but I have to disagree also. I had the factory wheels (Lionshead wheels/Westlake tires) balanced at Discount Tire (like the place and have have a long and good history with them). First time the wheels where balanced off of the hub (standard) as they did not have a lug-centric adapter for these wheels. Went on a quick trip ( less than 100 miles). They got the adapter in a week later and rebalanced the wheels off of the lugs. All four wheels took significantly different weight and in different locations. Just as a check, after the lug-centric balancing we put one wheel back on the balancer (with the lug adapter) and it was only off 1/4 oz (the minimal amount of adjustment). This recheck gave me confidence in the consistency of the balancer. Just my experience.

Thanks for your information. I will keep it on the top of my list concerning my wheels.
