Bought tires at Costco and when they mounted them to my after market Fuel rims they used clip-on style weights instead of adhesive style weights.
Which ones work better?
I go off-road every once in a while and live in a cold weather climate so clip on weights sound like the better option. However many have said to use the stick on adhesive weights especially if your installing them on clean new rims like I am doing. The 4x4 guys say to use silicone or aluminum tape over the stick-on weights for added strength.
I had made two appointments at the tire shop, one today to have the tires put on the rims and balanced with adhesive weights...
and one appointment Monday to put them on the truck.
The plan was to go home with the tires today and silicone/tape the weights, install on Mon.
To my surprise today after telling them I wanted adhesive weights, they installed clip-on style weights instead. Should I just keep them that way or have them redone?
