Tire Taping. - 11.29.2008, 11:44 PM

Yea tire taping really does make a difference as long as you use the right kind of tape, and if you go one step farther you should also balance your wheels. That will help get your top end up even a little further, and help with handling performance. Just think about what having an unbalanced wheel on a full size vehicle does to its handling? If you have ever ridden in a car with an out of balance wheel it is rediculously violent in nature once you get the vehicle over like 30mph.

I have just built a balancer setup using parts from the T/H Dubro balancer kit, and will post up some photos of it this week. It was very easy to manufacture, and it really does make a difference in the way the vehicle handles, especially at higher speeds. The kit is too small for MT tires, but you can modify it a bit and make it work for your tires.
