Had the balance checked, rim is only out .25oz. The tire did require a full
105 gm to bring into balance on a "spin" machine. Talked with Bill Walsh a
customer service rep with the U.S. distributer of Metzeler and Pirelli.He
assured me this was a rare accurrance as ALL Metzelers are suppost to be
checked for balance before they leave the factory. He also assured me they
would warranty, send it back. My second one only reguired 40 gm to bring
into balance MUCH better. thanks BRUCE VMOA #989
