How important are these things?

Casue when I gave my bike a really good clean today I noticed that one of em has fallen of on the front wheel? Is that normally for them to do that?

Do I need to take my bike to a tyre place and get a new one put on? Will this effect the handling of the bike? Oh the one on the offside of tyre is still there.

Sure it weren't taken off when you last got your tyres done?

I'm sure it was there, but I did get my tyres changed just before the AR.

I think its worked it way lose, so whats the deal is this going to casue problems? Oh I'm Pliot Road 2's on my bike.

If the wheel doesn't feel like it's wobbling when your ride it shouldn't be a problem.

check also that the mark on the tyre (think its a yellow triangle) is aligned with the valve, if so and there's no wobble then as arenalife says, you should be ok

Not on all tyres, most though.
