Default Just mounted & static balanced my 30th tire in about five years - saving over $400

Wow, what BS and false comparison. Xeno spent a lot of time giving an
excellent explanation of the physics involved, it's not some fairy tale.


Hi Trader,

Let's act like adults please.
o Adults should be capable of separating bull****, from the facts

Where the main thing we need to know is the answer to the question
o What percentage of US passenger tires _need_ dynamic balance
o Particularly after a home DIY of matchmount/static balancing, plus
o A doublecheck of that static balancing with a dynamic drive

Let's act like adults, Trader...

Nobody ever said that a dynamic imbalance can't occur.
o Even after a good match mount & static balance
o And, particularly even after a doublecheck at speed

I repeat: Nobody ever said that dynamic balance can't occur
o Just like nobody said that shopping cart imbalances can't occur

But for Xeno to make those wide emphatic sweeping claims he made
o Is sort of like saying that all shopping carts need dynamic balancing

Sure, _some_ shopping cards need dynamic balancing
o But not all of them, Trader.

Perhaps not even most of them, Trader.
o Some of them do, but the question is how many need dynamic balancing
o After they've been match mounted, statically balanced, & checked at speed

Adults can handle concepts that have a bit of complexity to them.

If you don't comprehend this concept, then re-read my initial responses to
Xeno where your cite (see below) implies that you appear to own the
comprehension of a child, Trader.

Xeno's claim was a sweeping claim, based on pure bull****, Trader.
o All you're seeing from me is my allergic response to bull****

It's like me claiming that all shopping carts need dynamic balancing
o Simply because my experience is that they're wobbly once in a while

Name just _one_ reliable cite that backs up your beliefs, Xeno.
o Name just one

That's a foolish challenge to issue. Do you really think there isn't even
ONE reliable source, eg tire manufacturers or auto authorities, that say
that tires should be dynamically balanced? Really?


Trader,

Do you own the comprehensive brain of an adult, or of a small child?

Nobody ever said that tires can't be dynamically unbalanced for Christ's
sake, even after match mounting at home, and even after subsequent static
balance at home, and even after subsequent dynamic tests at speed.

Just like nobody said that shopping carts can by dynamically unbalanced.
o The question is WHAT PERCENTAGE of mounts are dynamically unbalanced.
o After match mounting, static balancing, & dynamic tests at speed.

I'm allergic to unsubstantiated bull****, Clare.
o If Xeno's belief system is based on facts, he can pass this simple test:

Name Just One.

I'll give you one. Michelin

Should my tires be balanced?
Proper balancing is critical for optimal vehicle performance,
especially at today's higher highway speeds.


Do you own the comprehensive mind of an _adult_ Trader?
o Do you even comprehend the stated problem set, Trader?

Nobody even once said that 'proper balancing' isn't what we're after.

When tire and wheel assemblies are unbalanced, a vibration can result
from wheel and assembly shimmy (shaking from side to side)
or wheel assembly tramp (tire and wheel hopping up and down).
Therefore, it is important that these assemblies are in both
static and dynamic balance


Um... Trader. Everything you post is from the brain of a child.
o Nobody ever said that balancing wasn't important.


And just for you:
Can I mount my own tire on the wheel?
Never try to mount your own tires.
Tire mounting is a job for the people who have the proper equipment
and experience. If you try to do it yourself, you run the risk of
serious injury to yourself as well as possible damage to the tire
and rim.


Um, Trader, do you even realize what you're proving?
HINT: You apparently own the mind of a child, Trader.

If Michelin says don't do what the pros do because you
"run the risk" of (whatever), then, well, then YOU won't do it.
o That's because you appear to own the mind of a child, Trader.

But adults can see that quote for what it actually is.
o Where adults can handle basic facts better than can small children.

Try Google, they are there by the dozens.


Hi Trader,

Sigh. (This never ends)

That statement, just like _every_ statement from you, is terrifying in that
it clearly proves not only that you appear to own the cognitive skills of a
small child, but that you actually _believe_ that because Michelin said you
shouldn't do it, that you shouldn't do it.

Guess what.
o By the same logic, you shouldn't do many DIYs that pros do all the time.

In summary, every post from you, sadly, appears to indicate only that you
don't comprehend even the slightest bit of what the problem set entails.

Since the problem set is patently simple,
o The fact you don't comprehend it, is a bit terrifying.

Please try to comprehend the problem set:
o The question is what percentage of wheels _need_ dynamic balance
o After a good match mount, static balance, & pass on perceptible vibration

I don't think _anyone_ knows the answer to _that_ adult question, Trader.
o I admit, I don't know the answer either.

But it's pure bull****, IMHO, if someone claims it's _all_ wheels.
