I use the spin balancer. It doesn't take much to set it up for these wheels. Not that it makes much difference but I also mount the weights on the inside, these tires are so narrow they don't care.

Good afternoon...Many modern tire balance machines will balance Model A Wheels. If the shop has a full range of adapters, one will fit 28/29 and another will fit 30/31. Check the shops in your area. You might have to purchase the adapter for your Model A from the folks who made the balance machine...If they don't have the full range in the shop. Not much money and just a few days to have it in hand.

Good afternoon again...I checked with our local shop that has balanced Model A wheels for me and their machine is a HUNTER with Road Force Technology. It comes with about 20 mounting centering units. The system can balance damn near any automotive wheel and that includes all four years of Model A Fords...Good Luck...Ernie in Arizona

I should point out the I only had this problem when I over inflated my tires and had to let some air out to reach the proper pressure. I thought it might be a fluke it happened but then it happened again under the same circumstance.

I still like the DynaBeads, just be aware this might happen.
