Tire balancing 101 (stock MT tires)

[Cloach1]

Quick question.


For those of you running the stock tire/wheel set up, how much weight has it took to balance a tire? My first tire I've put about 1.5-2 ounces. Still working on the second tire but nut much difference.

3 oz between 2 tires. I'll have about an extra half pound In weight just on balancing. These bounce all over the place if not balanced, so the trade off should be worth it.

What about removing some rubber from the Chevrons?

Damn I thought I was the only one thinking that! Decided against it because I just couldn't bring myself to start cutting.....yet. Lol

Yeah, a lot of people use a dremel to cut slots in the chevrons to remove weight, so you can definitely do it to balance.
