<div>Why not call a tire shop and ask what they use? I can't believe they don't re-use weights on occasion.<br>

<div>I was always under the impression that new tires had a stamp thar indicated either the heavy spot or the light spot - it was meant to be mounted next to the valve stem. That was supposed to minimize the amount of additional weight that needed to be applied.
It's been 40 years since I balanced a tire, though - things may have changed.</div>

<font size="2" face="sans-serif">It seems like a no brainier to be able to reuse the weights, but I can't find a double sided tape for that. (I'm guessing it needs to be pretty good stuff to resist bumps, water, ice, dirt, etc.)</font>

<font size="2" face="sans-serif">BTW, does anyone have any tips on how to balance tires? I've watched a bunch of videos, but it always seems that I need to balance and add weights 5 or 6 times and end up putting on what seems like a lot of weight for each
