I have used dry balancing powder for about a year with good results. It=20
fixed a wheel balance problem that had me stumped for over 10 years.
If you want to try it without the powder, be sure to use a wheel balancer=20
that has the lug style adaptor (wheel attaches to balancer with lug nuts)=20
and not the cone style (wheel attaches to balancer with a cone through the=
=20
hub opening). This spring I replaced my two front wheels with Alcoas &=20
Michelins. I had a hard time finding someone who could balance them=20
properly. A good test is to have them balance the wheel/tire assembly,=20
remove it from the balancer, rotate it 180 degrees and recheck the balance.=
=20
If its still balanced then they did it correctly. If its not still=20
balanced, something is wrong with the balancer.
The Alcoas balance up nicely if its done correctly but I still have steel=20
wheels on the rear and they are all balanced with Equal dry balancing=20
powder. Here is another link that I used to help make the decision to try=20
the balancing powder. It is pretty long and doesn't mention wheel balancing=
=20
until somewhere in the middle of the article.
