Heres the story. My brother gets 2 tires for free. They look brand new they still have the nubs on them from when they were cast. So we mount the one go to the tire balance machine put weights on the outside then the inside turn on the machine again and the machine shows zeros which means the tire is balanced. Do the same with the other tire. Put weights on the outside then the inside of the rim. Start the machine again and it says we have to add weight to the outside of the rim opposite of the weight we just added. Ok we add the weight start the machine again and it's zeros so the tire is balanced. Now here is the question. I don't think it's right to add weight across from the original weight? Shouldn't we have subtracted the weight that we just added from the weight across from it? What we did just dosen't pass the common sense test.
