Hi guys,

Had two new tyres fitted the other week and I've noticed the guy appears to have used all the tyre balancing weights in the known universe. Now, I've never had this many fitted to this wheel before (It's the same the other side).

This picture (Excuse the wheel covered in tyre fitting glue) shows them a bit - basically I've got 2 layers of weights for about 3-4 inches!

Is this right?

Obviously it looks crap but frankly I can live with if it is isn't going to cause issues, I just cant help thinking that a wheel shouldnt have this many balancing weights on it.

Cheers!
 
It never had this much weight on it before and it was fine. The tyre fitter was, dare I say it... a bit slow and I dont mean in the time it took him to fit a tyre.
