> Avoid static balancing at all cost. Hi Steve, The one problem with that statement is that, IMHO, nobody here really seems to have viable facts for an accuratge percentage of wheels that actually _need_ to be dynamically balanced when the match mounting and static balance is done well and where there isn't any perceptible vibration at speed. Since you make the strong claim above, do you actually have any statistics to help us understand what your belief system is actually based upon? |

I can replace a tyre with only a beadbreaker, a couple of tyre levers and a rubber mallet and have done so more times than I care to count on rims as varied as Morris Minis rims through to large tractor rims. It is *not* a difficult task *if you know what you're doing* but it is one I prefer not to do now that I am retired. What I can say is that I have seen lots of tyres *damaged* beyond repair by halfwitted loons who *think* they know how to change one. > > The real answer is that everything they say is just pure bull**** > o Because they've never even once done it in their entire lives. I'd bet I've changed far more tyres than you've had hot dinners. And not always with a beadbreaker on hand. > > They're just spouting bull**** ... like that idiotic reporter was. > o I apologize if I'm too blunt and factual and honest for you. > If there is any bull**** being spouted here, odds on it would be you. -- Xeno Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.
