Bias Ply Tires
I have 8.00x14 silvertown new, they seem to have a lot of wheel weight inside and out to balance. Curious if anyone else has the same, or tricks to eliminate the some of the weight.

Re: Bias Ply Tires
A Hunter Road force balancer will specifically tell you how to index a wheel and tire, if you happen to have access to one.

Re: Bias Ply Tires
Well, sent tires to be rebalanced.... two of the four are better. The shop said other two just were not a good cast and needed the weight to get close to balance. They indexed the tires 3 times to try and get best fit. Will test drive later this week

Re: Bias Ply Tires
The Hunter Road-force Balancer you only have to index the tires and rims once{the Road-force balancer is the only tire balancer that can tell a bad tire]. When the tires go down the road they deformed[like a wrinkle-wall slicks do] and the Road-Force Balancer will balance them in the deformed state.
