Hi Xeno,

I'm allergic to bull****, Xeno.


Xeno posted some very sensible information and he evidently has a lot of
experience. Your credibility keeps going down.


And Arlen made this foolish challenge:



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


Xeno wasn't around and I couldn't let that easy one go, so I gave
him one good example, Michelin:

Should my tires be balanced?

Proper balancing is critical for optimal vehicle performance, especially at today's higher highway speeds. 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


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. "


Endless other similar sources saying the same thing about balancing.


Of course no surprise, Arlen didn't much like that. A whole page of BS,
Trader this, child that.....
