I have some tires I bought online and installed myself, and I'm fighting a balancing issue. (I use beads to balance my tires, which usually work quite well.) The balance issue is clearly from an out-of-round tire, and I'm hoping to find a solution that works up to 75-80mph instead of trying to go through the hassle of returning tires just to get more and re-mount them. I'm close as it is, with little to no vibrations up to about 64mph. But I live on a 70mph freeway so that's not good enough.
I need to know where to find the low point dimple on a steel wheel for our trucks, since over and over I read online that the red dot is to be lined up to the low point dimple. But nobody ever takes a picture of what it looks like or where to find it.
They also say if it doesn't have a low point dimple then line it up with the valve stem but that's doing me no good as that's the way I lined it up to start with.
@IDIBRONCO mentioned in his tire changing post to make sure and line up the yellow dots to the valve stem for our rigs but since I've already measured my tire as being out of round I was going to try the red dot to low point first.
Thanks everyone,
Joshua
