I use Dynabeads to balance the fronts, gets rid of the lead weights and works a treat.

Bike shop. They know how to treat wire wheels and tubes. My testimony is that even at 100mph there is no vibration or wobble coming off the fronts. The rest of the car however...
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

I use Dynabeads to balance the fronts, gets rid of the lead weights and works a treat. I use 4 OZ by weight of anti freeze in My +4 tires. But on My +8 it did not work because of the aspect ratio. Read the directions carefully.

I have a motorcycle wheel machine and would change the tires and then balance them on my motorcycle wheel balancer. I really thought I was being amazing cool being so self sufficient.
I was caught away from all my tooling on this last set and had to use a local motorcycle shop. They used dyna beads in the tubes (about 3 ounces per side) and I am now a believer. I have balanced tires for years and this set of fronts are just about perfect. A virtually still steering wheel at speed is an amazing thing.

This talk of balancing motorcycle wheels makes me want to go out and check my BMW! I would but it’s 3:30 am! 😟. I can’t recall any balance weights on any of my modern bikes but in the dim distant past I seem to recall being given some weights for an old airhead boxer.
3:30 am? Ah.......man flu and can’t sleep!
