Suggestion
Dismounting/mounting tires, re-balancing even if only for the street tires after a re-mount will eventually cost you more than a set of used wheels.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am about to mount my Hoosiers for auto-x and was wondering if it's necessary to balance the tires considering the relatively low speeds? I won't be using the tires on the track or street.

POST 2Original post

It would be a good idea, you may get into speeds of 70+, we do in PCA Zone8

POST 3Original post

Lance, You've been sounding like you really like to get into the track and autocross. I would highly recommend getting a separate set of wheels for track/autocross use. Dismounting/mounting tires, re-balancing even if only for the street tires after a re-mount will eventually cost you more than a set of used wheels. I am, of course, assuming you don't have a second set of wheels. Otherwise, why would you not balance the second set with the track tires? We do hit mid to upper range and accasionally redline of the RPM on 2nd gear routinely during autocross..

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Palting...yes this is on a dedicated set of wheels. The reason why I want to know about the balancing is because I have a friend who can mount the tires but doesn't have a tire balancer. I figured why not save a few bucks if I don't have to absolutely have the tires balanced just for auto-x. Even when reaching redline in 2nd gear, I'm thinking that I may never feel the difference since it's so brief? Good observation, I an getting into the auto-x and track stuff. It's just as bad as the mod bug...

POST 5Original post

Balance them. Vibration from unballance wheels can lead to a car going out of alignment which will cause more problems down the road. If you had the dollars for an extra set of tire you could afford the $30 to ballance them.
