Default I need to borrow some shoes

No not these shoes


I'm talking about these shoes .
I need to borrow some wheels with properly balanced tires to try to determine whether the tires on my Fuchs are balanced or not.
I need them for a day or so, and I promise to drive through the worst DC potholes with them . Ideally it would be nice if I could get my hands on them today. Thanks.

Parri, if you have the time just go to Paul at Radial. I buy all my tyres including Durango (Toyos). He will balance the tyres on the car and shave any high parts off.loose a bit of rubber, but the tyre is only as good as the lowest tread part is anyway.

Thanks Dirk, I am planning on going to Paul at Radial next week. I go to him for all my tire needs. I just wanted to be 100% sure it the tires are causing the problem before I start looking at other factors.

Chris, how wide are the 17"s?

I have several sets you can use. PM if still interested. You can use my compressor but will have to change them yourself unlike a recent experience I had

205s on 7s & 225 on 7s or 225s on 7s & 245s on 8s (all 16s)

If you want, I can't be any closer.
I have my 6&7's you can try on for size!
I'll be home at about 7:30 tonight after soccer practice.
Although the wheather is tempting me to go for a drive!
Did a loop up to Frederick and back late last night!
Maybe we can do it together tonight and try out the shoes?
