Tire Balance

[Jim Edwards]

Hi Due to an unfortunate incident I ended up having both front tires changes on the road. Consequently neither were balanced. They seem fine, no vibration, and there were no existing weights on the rims. so my questions are: Is this typical? Is balancing typically not required? Am I just lucky? Had Michelin XZA2 installed.
Please advise.

Thanks Jim

Use Dyna Beads for your tire balancing needs.   Just 12 oz. per tire

Beads work OK but be sure you use long value stem cores. The shorter ones will allow a bead to cause a leaky stem after adding air. I use Centramatic balancers on my coach.
