Re: Balancing Racing Slicks
If you reindex a tire and it makes a difference you have a bad rim IMHO ---Trevor

I was at automotive factory training and told that OEM wheels are intentionally made slightly out of round on purpose to allow tire indexing corrections for overall less total run-out than with a perfectly round rim.

Re: Balancing Racing Slicks
We spin balance ours, but we also run a radial tire on both cars. Some tires take a couple ounces on the Rear but we had to put 5 oz them before as well. No issues with vibration otherwise. We did run a Bias ply at one point this year and it did't vibrate at all. At 160 it did grow a little bit more than 5" though.
