That is a question that might hold some water, but we import all our dangerous
products from Canada ;). I had read an article about Leaded gasoline a few
years back by a scientist said that the removal of lead in gasoline has not
made any differences in the levels in nature or some such statement. Not sure
how true it was, but was interesting. What about Freon 12 and the R134A
replacement, seems that didn't go to well either. Well at least we are
trying...

I wonder why when the lead is in
the ground before they make wheel weights
out of it, it doesn't contaminate
the water.
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.

research
on animals, or wear fur, or leather shoes, or keep your pants up

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.
