Default Threw my wheel weights..

Last Monday replaced the back tire and added Dyna Beads.Front tire was good but said when I got around to it that I would add the Dyna beads to the front..Monday it had wheel weights,tonight it had none just the adhesive so maybe it will smooth out a little more at speed..since it has the beads

I usually run a thin bead of clear silicone RTV around the edges of the stick-on wheel weights. It seals the small gap btwn the edge of the weight and the wheel rim. In doing so, I've never had a strip of weights peel away and fly off.
