[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1316896, member: 3828"] +1 to that, especially as it applies to the back tire which has a higher total mass. In imbalance of 1/2 oz on a wheel and tire that weighs 30 lbs is going to be imperceptible. I just mounted a new PR3 for bbdig yesterday. Spooned it on with the bar code opposite the valve stem, only because there are no balance marks on Michelins and it would be a good reference point in case we wanted to rotate the tire on the rim after checking the balance. Turns out it took exactly 2 - 7 gram (1/4 oz.) weights to balance, which is less than a bare wheel takes, so I had lucked out and put the heavy spot of the tire at (or near) the light spot of the rim. I am positive we could have left those two weights off and it would have been fine. But we were already there, so why not "do it right"? [/QUOTE]
