Dr, what you wrote is the real reason to get rid of lead. If you can't use
lead for bullets, the alternative is so expensive that only the rich can
afford them. If the left can get rid of lead in other places first, it will
be simple to take it away from bullets which is their # 1 priority. -- Bill

You're right and we can also make less dangerous ammunition for a safer and
sweeter society. Currently the cost of replacing lead in the shooting sports
has caused a 6 fold increase in cost. But lead, god save us all. LOL

It also poisons creeks, streams, lakes, and the ocean, affecting wildlife
and
contaminating recreational waters. I am surprised it took this long to
eliminate considering the toxicity of lead has been known for a very long
time.
There are alternatives to lead, though not as convenient to use.

Mark,
Just read in this morning's L.A. Times that the California environmentalists
have struck again, and no one will be allowed to balance wheel/tire with
lead
weights. No Tire Company, Dealership, Tire sellers, or sales of lead
weights
will be allowed. We all know that lead is poisonous if ingested (don't eat
your weights) but apparently they can come off the wheel (yes) and traffic
pulverizes them and rain will wash them into our drinking water (???). I
don't
think our reservoirs collect street drainage.

animals, or wear fur, or leather shoes, or keep your pants up with

Well, I do have different sized tires front and rear. They are new and
tires
are new. Transmission and drive shaft are new. The thing is, I didn't
notice this before the I put tires on a few days ago.
I think I'll start by having the wheels rebalanced and see if that helps
any.
The strange thing is, it doesn't feel like an imbalance that will come and
go
at different speeds. This comes and goes at a certain speed. I don't
notice
it at lower speeds.
