So last week I went and had my tires balanced.I have bfg at ta ko's and like 4 of the weights fell off 2 on the inside and 2 on the outside and I was wondering is that common? The tire size is 265/65/r17 on stock wheelsm do you think this will happen again? I'm pissed to say the least, don't have a lot of cash as it is and I pay to have some work done and this happens, just tires my ass, sorry guys any advice on why it happened, maybe there tech just sucks?
 






Probably sloppy work. I you had it done last week, just bring it back and they should fix it without charge.

Make certain when you have wheels balanced, that the guy does not attach weights which have been USED before. Only new weights should be used, as re-using them often results in loose/poor fit on the rim, and they can fall off, or move around on the rim.

Matter of fact, many jurisdictions have made it ILLEGAL for tire shops to re-use balance weights. imp
