    Default How to balance rear tire?

    I'm going to put a new tire on the rear and was wondering how to balance it. I'm no where near a dealer so i'm taking it to a tire shop. The hole doesn't look like it will fit on the balancing machine.

    RIDE ON TIRE SEALANT, They are a sponsor, CAN CONFIRM it seals the tire, HAVE not confirmed it will balance. Hopefully will find out in the next week or so, as I also am getting the rear tire replaced, it comes off the SPYDER tomorrow and into the tire shop Tuesday.... With today's snowstorm, hopefully should get a ride in this weekend...

    I used Counteract Balancing Beads On my fronts (2 Onz) and they work great.
    Will put 3 onz In rear when I replace it soon.

    Ride on will definitely balance your tire. Make sure to order the auto formula, not the motorcycle one.

    Don't think that balancing the rear tire is a must... More a marketing hype!

    I will look into the ride on, I take it can be added through the valve stem on the bike? As for not worrying abou balancing, should I take the weights off that we're on the stocker or just leave them on?

    Take the weights off when you have the new tire put on--- then put Ride-on in thru valve stem-- they give you a kit to do it when you order.

    18 oz for rear tire.
    11-13 for fronts.

    Works GREAT.
