Goodyear Tire Balance

I removed all four Goodyear 17.5 H Rated tires and had them balanced, using stick on weights. The tires took 6 oz; 4.5 oz; 3.5 oz and 1.5 ounces.
The tires that took 6 and 4.5 ounces was on door side. This explains why my dining room light fixture supports broke. I would highly recommend that you get your tires balanced. This would have caused excessive dipping and premature shock wear if I had ignored it. It was a good workout to remove the 100+ lb tires and take them to Goodyear and reinstall them.
