Mikealiasmike Posted April 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 23, 2015 Putting ride-on in new tires. Do the tires still need to be balanced? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted April 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 23, 2015 Yes.... The Ride-On will fine tune them, but the tire will need to be balanced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted April 24, 2015 Share #4 Posted April 24, 2015 Hmm going to bet you can use balance beads with the ride on stuff huh? Would probably make a big ole pile of wet sand like stuff sloshing around in tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djh3 Posted April 24, 2015 Share #6 Posted April 24, 2015 Oops was suposed to be CANT. Me and these tablet and phones typing pads have not got along well lately. They sort of put words in it likes, not what I type. But I thought I read in the advertisement that the goo was suposed to balance the tires also.

oconeedan Posted April 24, 2015 Share #7 Posted April 24, 2015 NO, if you are using Ride On, no more balancing is needed. Ride on, or dynabeads, they each balance the tire. Don't use both. And don't balance after adding either to a tire. They both work wonderfully, by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted April 24, 2015 Share #8 Posted April 24, 2015 According the the Ride-On website it say you can remove the weights and it will balance the wheel. I guess if you have the wheel balance the Ride-On would just fine tune it. Either way will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you have the wheel balance the Ride-On would just fine tune it. Either way will work Apparently Ride-On has put more balancing material in their formula. I guess it pays to keep up on new developments. Way back when they actually stated that a static balance was needed, and then Ride-On would fine tune. So I stand corrected.

Skid Posted April 24, 2015 Share #10 Posted April 24, 2015 I added Ride-On about 1000 miles after I put the new tire on. I left the weights on my wheel when I added the Ride-On, but not sure if I will balance the tire or not next time. I would be more comfortable balancing the wheel and then adding Ride-On personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikealiasmike Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share #11 Posted April 24, 2015 Well, I've had this ride-on in my heated shop for 4 years. Is this going to make a difference? It's still very pliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
