Behind door number four... No, wait, the leaders are Challengers. Never mind.

Well, The Dodge Demon IS the Most Powerful Charger Ever. Just imagine the size of alternator it can power.

A good tire shop should know to do it. If not, it only takes a few seconds to look at the finished product and see if they did it right. Of course, it sounds like many shops don't even know how to utilize the balancer to its fullest in the first place.

Yes, a Hunter has the option to measure the bare rim, and obviously it can also be balanced without a tire. The wheel can also be measure with a tire mounted, as long as there are no weights in the way, and the face of the wheel's design allows it. That method isn't as good as measuring the bare...

An empty parking lot is all it takes.

No bribes necessary. Just remove the dang street sign, the house, and two of the trees, in your second photo and you'll have it made.

Umm, are you sure? Your avatar is kind of pink. But that's okay, we're not really anti anything here. Heck, even 4-door cars are accepted. Sort of.

It can be risky to over inflate too much. My guess is that there wasn't enough tire lube, or the wrong kind was used.

Let's hope it has the 3.09s.

Why would I have waited until having a car?!? Any kind of car? But when I did reach drivers licence age, I had a small 2-door convertible. Just had to stack them like cord wood, that's all.

Hellcatcfp, you do know that the plans for an electric Challenger have been shelved, right? Turns out that the Battery Charger had more appeal. Much more.

Ironically, the two tires that stand out in my mind was a set of steer tires on my Pete. Not an ounce of weight needed. Now those were very carefully (correctly) mounted on the wheels, obviously including very good cleaning of the rim's bead areas. And they were quality tires. But you can...

I would never assume that a tire is round. That really doesn't happen i real life. Close, yes, but not round. On the contrary. I tried to explain that the tire's physical shape and its internals are two separate things. In theory you can have a perfectly round (visually) tire that doesn't...

It has nothing to do with what vehicle a tire and wheel combo ends up installed on. Yes, there are separate settings for P and LT tires, but that shouldn't factor in here. The balancer can figure all this out...given the opportunity. But it takes a coherent operator to take advantage of the...

I may have answered this already (losing track here) but it's sidewall related.

I wish you could bring your dang tires and wheels over here, and I could try fixing them for you.

To simplify this, there are two ways you get imbalance from a tire. The uniformity of its physical shape (the visible part) and what's inside the sidewalls. You can't dismiss how the internals of the carcass react to the weight they're subjected to. If that was the case, there would be no...

Okay, here I would like to add that a perfect wheel can be a hindrance. It offers no help whatsoever for using match balancing. As far as the amount of wheel weights used, I'm still surprised after all these years how often the wheel/tire combo that has the most weights has the lowest Road...

Look at a load chart and you'll see why it's not max psi, but one that's appropriate for the load on the tire. After all, the tire is merely a container for the air that supports the vehicle weight. In your case, I wouldn't say that it's not a car problem. And you know why. Anyway, I'll have...
