So im driven my car to work today and crossed some rail road tracks and I started to get a shack in the steering wheel. Im pretty sure I threw a wheel weight. Does anyone know how much it costs to get my wheels balanced? :confused:

i'd take care of it but the drive wouldnt be worth it lol. Tire discounters in middletown should be able to do it for like 7.50-10 bucks a wheel depending type of weights it calls for

i wouldnt have walmart balance my tires if they paid me. Ive had to redo too many of their shitty jobs not to mention retrain their techs that ive hired because they are actually trained to counter balance wheels, aka just keep throwing weights on it till it comes up to 0

Take it to Mike at Grismer Tire in Springboro. He goes by TireGuy on this board.

Hmm Ive never had a problem. I have never had them put on more than one weight per side either.

They suck, I've never had them balance a set of tires correctly yet. My son had some very nice rims installed by them, they scratched the shit out of them and ended up buying my son a new set of rims.
