Balancing weights came off...

[The D Man]

I was washing my front passenger wheel the other day and I noticed that the weights they used to balance the wheel fell off... there's just a sticky residue where they used to be. How concerned should I be? Would the dealer fix this or should I bring it to a TirePros or something to get it re-balanced? Thanks.

if they have been balanced more then once then the residue u see could be from a different balance....that sticky is hard as hell to get all of it off .drive around 55+ if it shakes then have it rebalanced

Just take it to get rebalanced anywhere. If your steering wheel isn't shaking violently at low or high speeds then there is nothing to worry about.

get them rebalanced, you may not feel a vibration in the wheel, but you could be causing the tires to get uneven wear and chopping out, as well as wearing down a lot faster...id get them rebalanced every 3-5k miles. I didnt believe how much weight my car asked for after 4k miles... i used to think it would take a long time before they need to be rebalanced, until i worked at a discount tire...

it may also be if you got them rebalanced recently or awhile back, that they took the weights off in that spot, and it called for no weight in that spot... there is such thing as a tire and wheel being balanced with no extra weight put on it...
