|  Tires becoming unbalanced After carefully balancing my tires, I noticed that they are now unbalanced after a night of racing. Whats wrong? There's insignificant tire wear, so I assume that foams shifted. Does anyone here shoe-goo their foams the rims to prevent this from happening? Thanks, Tom |

| Re: Tires becoming unbalanced Does your wheel have vent holes? If so, did you vent the tire to let the loose dirt out? Also, did you wash your tires? You may have water inside. |

| Re: Tires becoming unbalanced Thanks Jim, The wheel's holes are blocked and there are two 1/8" holes in the outer tire. I wash the tires with a simple green mist and a nylon brush. So I don't think too much liquid got inside. Also I ran the tires for a little bit before balancing. Not sure what's going on here. |

| Re: Tires becoming unbalanced I made an adapter to fit my dremel to spin the water out of my tires after I wash them. I was surprised how much water gets inside even with being careful. Only run the dremel at a low speed or you will rip your tires off the rim. |
