I really have used the one I have. The guy at the tire shop wanted to buy it
from me.

Woohoo! Look what I got in the mail today:
http://motorheads.net/vw/adapter.jpg
Sure is purty, who wants to help me break it in? I will likely be working on
the bus the next few evenings in prep for the classic. TCB'ers needing
mount/balance services are welcome to stop by. Lonnie, Mike, Neil? I'm in
Lucas, TX 75002. Be warned, I may ask you to help me bleed my brakes. Also,
I'm running very low on new valve stems, so if you want those replaced please
bring 'em with you.

Clear Lake NTB has a balancer adapter for wide 5's. Found this out after I
bought tires at Discount and those yahoo's couldn't balance them...

Oh. I didn't know you needed a special adapter. What is a wide 5?
Just a wider tire? I've been wondering if wider tires would give a bus more
stability. Didn't you love the first time you ever took a sharp turn or off
ramp in a bus? Wish I was wearing Depends that day.

Some of the places I've had tires mounted, CAN mount, just
not balance...seems strange, but I guess theres just not that much demand for
balancin' wide 5's, so few have the adapter...some try anyway, with apparently
poor results!

OK, seriously. Is everybody in TCB just wobbling
around on unbalanced tires or what?
Don't we have our tires balanced when they are
mounted or did we all just space out that day?

Are you sure you want to go "no charge for
TCB'ers"? We could keep you busy for a week balancing tires. I have a set on my
singe cab that need to be balanced, and I wouldn't mind paying to have it done.
