Not a bad tip, thanks friend. There is also some balance beads you can put inside the tire when mounting. They roll around inside as the tire rolls making counter balance. They work pretty well with most things. Just to add to this
Balance beads don't work nearly as well as actual balancing. They tend to fling outside from centrifugal force and then stay put, making the tire balance worse.
@@DJ_Level_3balance beads sound like the absolutely dumbest way of balancing a tyre lmao. Didn't even know that was a thing, incredibly stupid idea lmao
@@mitchhifi9192they are typically used on off road tires that often get mud and stuff on the that changes the balance. they are itty bitty bitty glass beads and there are hundreds of them. They do work. My source is that I’m ASE certified in steering and suspension
My dad used to balance propellers for his rc planes mounting them between razors in their holes and shave the prop to spec. Thats how i learned this with wheels etc in general. R.I.P
Damn good tip. Try driving one and it throws a weight. You will do damn near anything to keep them balanced after that. I got a tank slapper one time and I rolled the kart off a berm.
Can you do another video that shows the lead weight placement a little better? Maybe do some close-ups before and after you apply the weights and rotate the wheel? Thanks
the lead weights this guy shows are special made for balancing wheels, they stick on the rim with some kind of sticker foam stuff. all u got to do is clean the place where de weight have to go, cut the number of weights u need off the strip, remove the cover of the sticker and place it on the rim
As a Karting driver this is heavily impractical as you change tires like ever 50 to 100 miles lol. If not less depending on the tire compound and series.
Dint you literally have to make sure the floor and table are level before u even do this. Without doing that itll prob still work as long ur in the ballpark of weights it needs though.
When I worked at a tire shop, i was told that it is completely wrong to place wheel weights at 2 different position on one side of a wheel. Idk if this is right or wrong but I’ve seen guys fired for doing this.
Absolutely not "wrong" necessarily but "counter balancing" is very amateur and should never be done by a professional tire shop. In my 15 years as a tire tech it's has never been necessary
@@RamyFal he said to flip the wheel to see if it’s a one sided thing, so i don’t think it matters as what side it’s on as long that it’s balanced throughout on both sides
Sounds like you have your control data for this experiment, now you need to balance your tires and see if you go from "almost always" to "always" get first 😂😂😂
Heck yeah. I'm ready. Now if only I had a go kart =(
You’ll have kne one day 💪🏽
Yeah I feel ya bro😩
I feel you to but the thing is I have one but it has no engine
😂
Same:/

@@mitchhifi9192they work great with big tires and they dynamic balance the tire as you drive

@mitchhifi9192 right lol, who knew
I balanced my motorcycle tires with 2 jack stands and a ratchet extension, it worked good
My dad used to balance propellers for his rc planes mounting them between razors in their holes and shave the prop to spec. Thats how i learned this with wheels etc in general. R.I.P
Those little Hoosier tires are so cute
That’s exactly how I balance RC truck wheels it makes A huge difference
This method worked for my Miata’s tires as well. Heavier weights but same method.
That's very smart good job sharing your knowledge 👏
Thank you!
Good tip for onewheel guys to thanks
Reminds me of the old school bubble test
Damn good tip. Try driving one and it throws a weight. You will do damn near anything to keep them balanced after that. I got a tank slapper one time and I rolled the kart off a berm.
I like seeing the stuff on TH-cam.
I want that tire and wheel to put in the shop it’s adorable
Learn something new everyday day I always wonder what the lil metal pice on some rims were we for makes sense
That is very neat, never knew that. Coming from someone who use to mount and balance tires.
How did you used to do it?
Can you do another video that shows the lead weight placement a little better? Maybe do some close-ups before and after you apply the weights and rotate the wheel? Thanks
Yeah, I can make a long format video when I’m back.
Hey brother. Wherever the wheel settles, go exactly 180 degrees to the top of the wheel and put your weight. Retest and then repeat if need be.
@@zoobear02I think he watched the video lol

Awesome tip for sticky situations
Great video man
Thank you dude!
Yep, just like doing a M/C wheel❤
Right 🎉.
This is how we do this on some aircraft tires too 🤷🏻♂️
Ok but the mini hoosier is crazy
Great tires!
As a Karting driver this is heavily impractical as you change tires like ever 50 to 100 miles lol. If not less depending on the tire compound and series.
This is probably a good idea considering my go kart makes 120hp
Better to add weights in 2 spots 120 degrees from the heavy spot
Besser erklärt als in meiner Ausbildung...!
You should invest in a cheap bubble balancer from harbor freight
Might want to have mentioned you that need to do this on a balanced surface 👍
Just make sure everything is level
Im usually too busy pissing off mall security to pay any attention to my tires balance
Hmmm I'm going to need this for my street mower but first I'm building the mud mower
Good luck on the projects!
Bro is that Ruth from Ozark?
You thought i was feelin you?
Nah this shit made me crack up when I closed the comments😂😂😂😂 I had to go back to like 😭
I treid using this trick balancing water pump imprellers but i think its too much mass for consistant results.
Dint you literally have to make sure the floor and table are level before u even do this. Without doing that itll prob still work as long ur in the ballpark of weights it needs though.
So that’s how les schwab does it
Where can I get the wheel and tier?
You arw right but unless that gocart wheel is goin 100mph you prob wont feel it
And how do you balance it dynamically? Or isn't that necessary on a kart?
For the kart wheels, it does not seem necessary. A lot of people dont seem to balance them at all.
Maybe do too the small size ore the squarenes of the wheel

They are called static balancers.
Whats the purpose ?
Just use balancing beads
Mount, shaft, friction
💪
SO THATS WHAT THOSE ARE
A shaft that will fit inside 🤨
😂
gigity!
Hey beavis he said shaft ......
It’s not dynamically balanced though. Once that start rotating it’ll be unbalanced at certain rpm’s
You sound like Gallagher
Is this Destins little brother
Hey Noel Miller
Hey, im a Hoosier
HOOSIER GO KART TIRES ARE A FLEX 😂😂
They are good quality!
This is the same way we balance aircraft tires.
In all my years I've never balanced go kart wheels
How to know if u need to balance from the inside or outside ?!
finish watching the video, he’s tells you
@@jj-eq2ls i watched it
He never did !
@@RamyFal he said to flip the wheel to see if it’s a one sided thing, so i don’t think it matters as what side it’s on as long that it’s balanced throughout on both sides
@@jj-eq2ls that doesnt work
Try it by urself
@@jj-eq2lsThe flipping is just to make sure your setup isn't fuckin it up (eg a tilted table). It's still only balanced about one axis.
Firmly GRASP IT
Anybody know the science behind why a tire needs to be balanced ?
Does this on a regular car tires😂
Did you just put those weights in 2 different places 🤦🏻
Anyone else waited for the tire to “bounce”?
But dont counter balance
Yea need a balance machine bud there is know what you know how much it’s pulling on either heel or toe
i straight up thought that was a woman 😂
Heheheheheeheheheheheheheheeheheh. Shaft. Heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheeh.
lol nope
You don’t need to balance tires dude.. I literally never do that and I almost always place first
Sounds like you have your control data for this experiment, now you need to balance your tires and see if you go from "almost always" to "always" get first 😂😂😂
Unless your pushing 100km/hour theres no reason to balance those tires
pointless if you bend rims every other weekend. each little bend will make the balance of the rim change. but non the less you did everything correct.
Not the radius 🥴
😂okay
who the fuck is balancing a gocart tire 😂
