Re: Wheel Weights
I'd take it and get it checked just for peace of mind myself

Re: Wheel Weights
Jerry, are you sure that they didn't remove them when you had a new tyre fitted and placed some elsewhere....

Some tyres just happen to be balanced without the need for weights

Re: Wheel Weights
The guy did clean the wheel when he put it on but to be honest i cannot remember if there were any weights or not.
does not seem to be affecting the rear wheel i will keep it going and see what happens I might as well have a blast this afternoon then |

Re: Wheel Weights
OK guys, now youve got me worried!! Forgive me for being a newbie (and a girlie) but ive never heard of wheel weights before, however i do have sticky pads on my rear wheel where there obviously used to be something attached that isnt there any longer. Is this something i need to act upon or worry about?? Ive just checked and the front has 20g on but the back just has the remains of a sticky pad. Sorry for being a bit ignorant but we all have to learn somehow and this forum is rapidly becoming my oracle!!
