My first attempt at balancing my own tires. I think I nailed it perfectly.

You need something mechanical to hold the weight....don't rely on the adhesive...

Some self tapping sheet metal screws 'ought to do it.....and a little dab of sealant just to be safe....

The horrors....

Looks good to me. It's inside the chicken strip.

That is almost a bicycle tire, the weights look like half the tire weight.

Probably should wrap with duct tape to ensure they don't fall off. Plus it will increase tread life
