[Tigers] Vibration

[Sandy Ganz]

I think you could use Plutonium, it has a high density ;-) I think the EU has
had Iron Weights, and I have seen them when I got a couple of boxes of weights
(lead) for my racing rims but not sure if they have them in tape on. Well I
had better order some more before they become extinct. I will, however, check
for iron before makeing the non-green 
selection!

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.

/"Kiss a Coyote", and we will
also bomb you if you do medical research on
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.
