Tires often have two dots, one for the heavy spot and one for the high spot=

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=
ch of videos, but it always seems that I need to balance and add weights 5 =
or 6 times and end up putting on what seems like a lot of weight for each t=
ire.

Just wondering.

Thanks.
