A tire firm that caters to semis will likely be able to shave the tires, definitely improves  ride and wear.

-->I just had the tie rod ends and front end balanced on my SUV by a very large Front End Specialist.  I want to ask him if he can balance and shave the tyres with the wire wheels and balance the rear hubs.  Does anyone know more about the procedure? A friend with a 5 bay garage seems to remember that tires were shaved, but, does not know how or why. Our club has old reliable balancer and maybe it can be used.  Ideas?

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Drum Balancing Ditto on both of my Bt7 and Bj8. Remarkable difference after Hendrix Wire Wheel in Greensboro NC got a hold of them. I think he can shave tires also. Great to work with also Jim Brown  On Friday, February 16, 2018, 1:52:02 PM EST, Gary R.

One of the best things I ever did to my cars.  Have balanced several sets.

Subject: [Healeys] Drum BalancingI can understand balancing the front drums on my BN2 to help preclude scuttle shake, but I am converting to front disc brakes.  Is it necessary to balance the rear drums? Mike MacLeanSent from Yahoo Mail on Android_______________________________________________
