cheers for Dave's pit stop for helping you out
it's amazing how these bigger company's stay in business for the poor service they provide.

hope you get this resolved.

 

Nice shop that helped you out! Gotta remember that place if I am ever in need up there. I prefer the stick on weights on the inside of the tire, but a lot of other people don't

 

Glad your safe and that the shop helped you out. Will look for it when I'm in the area.

 

I run the "inside" weights as well. You don't grind them off while wheeling!

 

My guess is that they installed the weight wrong. Or it was for a different sized wheel. But wow is that a big weight!

The internal stick on weights are typically not effective on steel wheels do to the weight of a steel wheel. But are certainly the way to go on aluminum wheels.

And if you have to go to a shop again up here, let me know. Shop about a 1/2 mile from where I work that I have been using for many years. Also locally owned and been in business for ages.

 

Yes. I run aluminum wheels.

 

This is a proper weight Dave put on.





These are the wrong weights. Not surprised it came off

 

glad you got that fixed up. those were some serious weights.

 

Thanks. I hope this is the end of the Rant thread lol. Never take your JK anywhere in Sonora.

 

Well, I wouldn't say anywhere, just any of those sucky places :P

That weight Big-O put on is for an aluminum wheel, which has a thicker rim. And the guys they hire there are a bunch of flunkies. I got to Doherty Tires in Standard. Most of the guys there have been working their for a really long time and know their stuff. In the ten years I have been using them, never had a single issue. Well except that they refuse to balance Bias Ply TSL's. Not that this was a horrible thing for me, as I have never had any vibrations from my swampers (On other Jeep). But I think I am just really lucky.
