Look the goods for a all terrain tyre.

The only thing I noticed so far is that one tyre required 200g of weights to balance!
While another needed only 30g!!!
Guess which one is on the back?

My Wranglers had 3 - 4mm left and where wandering all over the place and I didn't have too much confidence in the wet.
Glad to get rid of them!

Mate how did they balance them?
They should have used fingers to balance them up if not they are not doing the job right.
The tyre should not go out with that much weight i would have sent it back for a calim and got a new tyre we have had some at work and i send them back thats not good work...

If they want to bring the weight down they sould spin the tyre 180 on the rim and some times it brings the weight down.
If you are in melb send me a pm and i will give you my info and i will fix for you mate..

Thank boofdtl, I'm in Sydney.
Should I make it a point with the tyre supplier to try to minimize the weights? That particular wheel has 120g as per the picture and 80g opposite on the inside edge of the rim.
Rich.

For shore mate they should be albe to it.
What you need to ask is how they balanced them if done with a front mount cone NO GOOD all 4wds should be done by finger plates.
Get them to spin the tyre on the rim as well most of the time it brings the weight down if they say no then they dont give a s... and g to some one who will
do it..

So boof, are you saying you can now get the AT's? I still haven't organised tyres yet, and probably won't for another few months, but if thats the case I will be seeing you when the CC is empty. ;)

no probs mate catch up soon

They are on the way just spoke to continental and i will have them at the end of the month will post up when in stock for you guys...

The tyre has been rotated 180 degrees.
Now down to 130g of weights.
The guy did say he thinks the rim is out a bit.
They did not balance using fingers, just the centre hole unfortunately.
