This past summer I had the wheels replaced because the finish was coming off and the aluminum was starting to corrode. DRV coordinated with Tredit Wheels and they contacted me and made all the necessary arrangements to have the wheels replaced. Tredit even asked me to check the spare, just in case. The wheel balance was done under warranty, even though they had never been balanced. Once again, great warranty support!

Half of the miles on the MS have been done without balanced GY's. I can tell no difference; nothing really moved around in the MS under either condition and the tires are wearing true. When you think about it, with a tire weighing in at probably 100 lbs or so, 1 lb of wheel weights is only 1% of the total weight! Suprised the balancing made such a difference for RGordon. Not doubting the outcome, just suprised. I had been meaning to balance mine, but never got around to it until I needed to have the wheels replaced.
