View Full Version : One tire unbalanced

So I got (and installed) a set of 31x10.50 tires mounted and balanced on 15x8 wheels. However, I'm now told (by the guy who sold them to me) that one of the tires is in fact not balanced. Now that they're on the truck, I don't know which one it is. What do I do? I'd rather not go out and pay to have them all balanced (I already paid for that in the price of the tires). Will the shop be able to figure out which one is not balanced, and only do the one that is messed up, and only charge me for that? Is it OK to have one unbalanced for a few days while I figure out what to do?

Thanks.

hey shep get it done this weekend I didn't think about it SORRY! It isn't going to hurt any thing for a few days. It is the one without any weights on it. 5 dollars at the local tire shop should do it.

there is your answer... if hvac man sold them to you, and knows it doesnt have weights, you are set...... just get that one balanced.... at my work, a economy balance that carries a 90 day balance guarantee is $7.49 and a lifetime tire balance is $11

it wont do anything other than possibly make the ride a little harsher, if it happens to be on the back, you probably wont even feel it... but if you leave it unbalanced and never get it balanced, it will slightly effect tire wear and the life of the tire
