Just Curious
Occasionally I see threads regarding balancing tires. I'm running the inexpensive 21 inch Lucas tires, and I see absolutely no reason for balancing them. They roll true, and without any hint of being out of balance at any speed. Am i just lucky?

Re: Just Curious
I just asked the same question. 60 years of owning these cars, never knowingly have had a balance problem.

Re: Just Curious
Ditto. Never had a 21" tire balanced or had any reason to.

I have worn out a set of lucas tyres and didn't have to balance them. I didn't like them much - too soft. The balance of the old Insa tyres was OK too. Now that I have the balancing stand, I balance all of my wheels when I fit the tyre. Wow, it's only as I type this I start to realise how many sets of tyres I have worn out!
