Jim,
My son
works at a Sears Auto Center, so I asked him your question. He says his shop
uses machines made by "Coats" or some name like that, and these machines tell
you how much weight to add to each side, like .5 oz on the inside and .25 oz on
the outside...

Hey guys.
Many, many things have changed since I worked in a
service garage. When we balanced tires we split the weight needed
between both sides of the wheel. If it took called for a one ounce
weight we put a half ounce on each side of the tire/wheel at the specified
spot. I was instructed that weights on only one side would balance the
wheel centrifugally, but not dynamically.
This past week my wife got new tires on her car and I
noticed a large weight on one of the tires. I reached behind to the back
side and there was no other weight. Is this a new finding that they only
need to put the weights on one side of the wheel??
Thanks
