- If you are really into tire balancing, if might be best for you to invest in
- some thin lead weights. If create a small step-up that keep the wheel's
- axis level while spin, you'll can make a great balancing truer.

- If you spin the tire each time you add small weights to the inside of the
- wheel, you will eventually balance it. If you spin it, and one side becomes
- heavy than another, the wheel wheel turn to the heavier side on the bottom.
- To counteract this, just an weight on the direct opposite side of the inner
- wheel. When you are finished, the wheel should spin freely without
- continually leaning to one part of the wheel.
