Some tyre fitters will spin the tyre to get the least weight. |

Pehaps they wasn't balanced correctly.
I'm pretty sure there is a manufacture mark on all tyres which has to be positioned opposite end to the valve opening [I think] which should give the nearest balance without weights then it should be blanced on the machine. Do a bit of digging to confirm my suspicions. |
Just had a new set of 225/40/18 888s put on my track wheels (incidentally TD 1.2s) by someone who I trust. He pointed out to me one of the tyres needed a lot of weight and recommended I fit it to the rear. Can happen even with premium tyres, OK for me as they don't last long on track anyway, then I'll get some more.

your tyres should have a faint red dot on the outside. this should be in line with the valve to help the balancing.
also the balance machine could have been set up wrong but unlikely though as they are easy to get right. it could just be the tyres if they are low end brands. what make are the tyres? you can just get a tyre garage to pop the beads on the tyre machine,spin the tyres round on rims,blow them back up and rebalance the wheels.it might help. |

manufacture of tyres say that here is no mark on tyre to place at valve
they say that is well out of balance rotate tyre 90 or 180 that should sort |
