America's tire company in Los Angeles constantly upsell you. It's annoying AF. Me too. Just buy the cheapest tires online, install them yourself, balance them and your good. Tire shops will add $60 to the retail price just because, then another 100 for mount and balance, and another 80 to insure them. Do it yourself, if need be, buy another tire if something bad happens to 1 of your tires.
You are lucky to have the adhesive marking where the imbalance is. I tried this tool and never had good results. After several attempts I put it on the shelf and have not used it again. Thanks for sharing.
Bu kadar masrafa girip saatlerce ugraşmak yerine bu işi profesyonel ce yapan bir lastilciye gitseniz daha az masrafla bu iş daha çabuk ve daha etkili olurdu 👍
Thanks for the video! I have one of these on order, and just got a Harb Frt tire changer. Im in 70th yr and on soc sec, so will do tires myself and save some money. I bought sick on weights on Ebay.
I suspect that your wheel and tire combo likely did not have even weight distribution from the inside to outside of the wheel, which would mean that a dynamic balance was needed, or perhaps the tire was not perfectly round. Have a great day!
May sound crazy but one thing i know some racing guys will even use is the Aluminum Duct tape. Theyll tape down the weights for added protection and assurance they dont fly off over time. Another helpful tip is make sure to clean the area you stick them to SUPER well.
They charge $30 per tire here. I ordered this bubble ballancer and plan not to use tire shops anymore. I can mount my own.

@@kendalgee5808 yea the tire insurance is not worth it at all.
Interesting, thanks for making the video.
Don't forget to re-torque your lug nuts after about 25 miles. Reading that aloud sounds...off.

Did you have any issue with the harbor freight weights? Did they fall over time or the sticky tape is good?
No issues so far.
