Had steel showing (oops!) on a tire so I got a new one. After the tech mounted and balanced the new tire, I noticed that on the outside of the wheel, there was a 2 inch weight. On the inside of the wheel and almost directly opposite the two inch weight was another weight about 1 inch in length. I personally don't have any wheel balancing experience but common sense tells me weights shouldn't be put on opposite ends of a tire. Defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
I understand the need to put weights on the inside &/or outside of the rim but OPPOSITE EACH OTHER? Would an EXPERT please reply.
I had this done at WalMart, which makes me suspicious of the weight placement.
