Radial's on car tire balance is fucking awesome.

Folks, anyone who gets tires mounted there should have this done. It's really, really, really good. Now I just need to index my wheel studs somehow.

Yes, it's very good. Almost worth the wait. Actually, it's almost worth the wait just to watch the guys do it.

Very good, but not quite perfect. My round trip this weekend revealed that there is still some (though not much) vibration at 85+.

So I take it you got your wheel weights put back on. Did you have balance issues that required the on car balance?

Nope. Paul just decided he would do it that way.

If the choice is spending $5,000 or waiting, I'll wait.
