Default Tire balancing.

Hey all. Has anyone here ever had their tires balanced on their atv? A coworker of mine who just bought 2 new John Deeres, and sold me on buying one had his tires balanced. He says it rides excellent now. No shimys or wobbles at speed on hard surfaces anymore. He told me it's a night and day difference. Was wondering if anyone else has tried this, and if so was it worth the money spent. The place he took it to only charged him 20 bucks per atv to remove the wheels,balance them, and put them back on. I figure this may be money well spent. Thanks in advance, Brian

Yeah I balance all of mine I think it makes a HUGE difference. I think it may also help the tires to wear a bit better too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Only good if you don't ride in mud ... as soon as you get mud in the wheel, it will be out of balance.
