YouTube video monologue by Mike Melton criticizing Discount Tire’s wheel balancing work. The speaker shows specific wheels and weights, calling out improperly placed balancing weights and advising viewers not to use shops that do careless work; he notes a customer drove four hours for the service. The piece is a short, critical walkthrough of observed balancing errors.
Let me show you the amazing balance job discount tire did to this guy here. So we don't have the cheap tires. He's got the open country RT trails on this thing. So normally these things always balance out well. Alright, so here's the first wheel. We got some static balancing. We got them side by side like that. No other part. Now this is where it gets interesting. Now explain to me why in the hell would they do this right here? That is amazing. This ain't the only one. So this is the one that's on the floor, this is the one that's on the balancer. So before we snatch all this weight off, let's show you this. Look at that. Now those are older weights, so you can see I know a couple haters in there. Like, oh, you put that on there? No, no we didn't. Look at the weight that is on this tire and wheel. Like I said, train or complain, a lot of y' all just go to these places thinking you're gonna get good work. This guy drove four hours to come get it done. Stop going to these damn places where they don't care.
