I have a set of tires (disc wheels) that seem to balance okay on the shop's equipment but not so well at 60 mph. I do not think it is the car because a different set of tires (wire wheels) on the same car do not exhibit any vibration.
I saw in the recently posted collection of Serivce Bulletins that this was a common problem 40 years ago -- i.e. tires wherein the balance changed under load & speed.
Here then the questions:
1. Anyone ever used one of those compounds that go in the tire and magically balance it as you drive? This stuff almost pegs my internal BS meter but thought I'd ask:

2. Anyone used one of these (or similar) balacning gadgets?

Yes, I know it not a dynamic balance but when the shop balanced my wire wheels the weights are all stick-ons on the center line, no side-to-side weight differences.
Thanks for any advice.
