Match balancing tires
Does anybody know of anyone in Tampa/St Pete that can properly do this?
For those who don't know what match balancing is, it involves matching the light spot of the rim with the heavy spot of the tire. Not to be confused with load balancing done on a Hunter machine.

I've heard of this. You have to match up a certain mark on the tire to a certain spot on the rim. My friend works at like a Firetstone and he said they do stuff like that but that it is a bitch to do. Your best bet is going to any place that does tires and seeing if they can do it up for you. You could always just get static(it might be dynamic) where no weights are on the outsdie if thats what your going for.

Just don;t start out with... Well I have this Dodge... and you should be OK -
Again - he's straight up - he'll tell you if he can do them or not - and if he can't - he'll probably tell you who to try.
My name is Jeremy Dixon - and I was just there getting tech for Sunday at Sebring.
