Why not call a tire shop and ask what they use? I can't believe they don't =
re-use weights on occasion.

It seems like a no brainier to be able to reuse the weights, but I can't fi=

All my searches come up with the weights already on the tape, but I just wa=

Thanks.
BTW, does anyone have any tips on how to balance tires? I've watched a bun=

ire.
Just wondering.
Thanks.
