Hahaha, holy shit!

should of had the tire place put the stick on weights on the inside of the tire. All those weights are just asking to be ripped off by a rock. Make sure you check your tires after every ride.

Mine were bad too. I actually run the powder-weight inside the tires, and the stick-on wieghts on the inside of the rim. I love the tires, they work very well in the rocks and aren't too loud on-road too.

I hate to tell you this, but get rid of those weights before you knock them off in the rocks. I have knocked off so many of that style wheel weight, I use all stick on ones now. Go with the stick-ons on the inside of the rim. The stick on weights may actually be stuck on top of themselves too if one spot is particularly bad.

thats a sign of a lazy tire guy.. if the balance is that far off he should have put it back on the mounting machine, broken the bead and rotated the tire on the wheel 45 degrees, then gone thru the balance again.

Wow new-er rims top?

[camarors8992]

Bring that back to them and have them do it correctly.

I've heard of TrXus being off, but dang...

I gotta ask, did he put the same amount on the inner side too? :shocked:

+1 When I had TrXus STS's put on my Jeep the wheel/tire guy tried pulling the same crap job as illustrated above. I made him remove the wheels from my Jeep and start over. I ended up with less than 1/2 the weight on the rims than he originally put on.

Definately take them back to your installer and have them do it right! :mad:

we rotated it TWICE!

rotating the tire most of the times will work, apparently not in this case.

do a search for airsoft balancing, dynamic balancing may help

I think i may go with these

Mine were just like that. The first time I tried balancing them I ended up with weights around nearly half of the wheel.

Then I went wheeling, lost most of them, and couldn't tell a difference driving home. I ended up putting over 25,000 miles on those tires before selling them and never re-balanced them.

No complaints at all with those, by far my favorite MT tire.

[90XJay]

wow i'd have to say that's the most weights I've seen on a tire

[billyjp2]

i have swampers the first owner used globs of silicone on the rim to balance them out.

[bj-666]

every time you go wheeling your loose enough rubber to throw them out of ballance so what is the point:sure:the only way to do it is with active ballancing like bb's or other products.

i dont know where u going but i live in jersey its all sand and mud ... i dont loose that much rubber ... hell i dont lose that much when i go to RC

I'm running 35 claws and Centramactics didn't help at all. For smaller tires they may be a winning ticket, but they don't have enough weight for larger jobs.

They seem to be very popular with the H2 crowd, so maybe I've missed something, but right now I can't recommend them for larger balancing jobs.

Dynabeads helped, but only once above about 35 MPH.
