Niki Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 using @Rob Harper advice above - ordered a roll of this tape ready for my next visit to the tire store. @VipinShetty Finding a garage with the right hammer on weights or that uses better adhesive may take longer so will use the BMOT method 'bring my own tape' until i find that place! great tips - i haven't suffered this (yet) but adding the tape to the tool bag now! Thanks all for your guidance and recommendations plus @VipinShetty for starting this discussion. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob H Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Keep in mind that not all wheels are compatible with hammer on weights. So be sure your wheels have the type of flange that will work before you insist a tire shop use them. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangeld Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 @VipinShetty there is also the small chance that there is a build up of sand on your wheel from the desert. My tires (like Ahab) feel unbalanced from time to time. A bit of a shakedown later and some speed bumps to shake out the desert from under the car and we as a good as gold. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also explains the return of balance after the steam wash , same principle I guess. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always do an engine bay wash and underside wash after 2 to 3 drives depending on how many drives I'm doing in a week. Plus I clean the air filter, check all the fluids if at all they developed a leak after the severe punishments my Xterra goes through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
