Thanks guys. I'll check the other tires to see if
there are any inside weights anywhere. The tires were
purchased/mounted/balanced at Sam's Club. Maybe that's what it called for on
that particular tire. I'll let you know what I
find.

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
