Running a bit behind Bill, had to blow off a little steam by
going out side and walking around the house a few times.
Thanks for getting back to me. No I haven't tried counter
balancing the tire to the stem . I don't have access to a
tire shop other than as a retail customer and I've already
got way more invested in tire shop labor than a new set of
Coopers deserve. All of the tire shops around here are run
on production basis and the people running them really scoff
at taking on special procedures like your describing. Get
them off and get them on as fast as you can seems to be the
order of the day.
I've tried the beads for a couple of years now and don't see
any difference. They really never made any sense to me to
begin with. Now to get them out is going to be a real
hassle. I can picture what kind of mess they would make and
I don't think I could talk the shop into letting me bring my
vacuum with me and suck them out after they break the first
bead. Heck, all the tire stores around here won't even let
you out in the shop, insurance issues, you know.
I drove over to the next town about 20 miles away yesterday
and I'd be running along a 55 or 60 and watching the left
front fender. It would be steady as a rock for some miles
then I'd start to see it hopping up an down then I'd slow
down or speed up and it would go away just to come back a
little later after running at a new speed. Only thing that
I haven't tried is different shocks and new springs. Shocks
were new about 14k or 15k back and the springs were in good
shape when I had them apart back then.
Well, back to the drawing board, and thanks again for the
suggestion. If I do decide to break them down and suck out
the Dyna-Beads I'll see if I can find a shop that is slow
and willing to play with rotating the tire to the rim.
