I have a set of wheels and tires waiting to be mounted and balanced. A few other small jobs to do too. I will check and see if I can get away that weekend.

I don't quite understand that statement?
How do you install a balanced tire on an unbalanced wheel? How do you balance a tire with out a wheel?
Things may have changed since I worked in the tire industry, It has been quite some time.

And why would you care? It's trailer trash.
I heard biodegradable airsoft bb's work great!!:gee:
well dave if you look at all new cars made since the 80s they have a dot on the rim and a dot on the tire that is marking the heavy spot on the wheel and the light spot on the tire after checking the balance before mounting them it has been done for years and my dynamic balancer sometimes has a hard time balancing just a wheel so you take a tire you know is close to balanced and mount it on your wheel and spin balance it that way to get the wheels close to zero before putting the mud tire on and also some tire and wheel companies that sell mounted and balanced combos do tire and wheel matching also hope that helps you understand

Makes since, I never knew of the dot on the wheel. I always aligned the paint dot on the tire 180* from the valve stem hole. But like I said its been 15 maybe 20 years since I've had to do any real tire work. In fact, I still balance my junk with a micro precision bubble balancer and strong arm the tires on.
