I just had radial tires put on my 61 to replace the bias ones. Geez, what a difference !! But that is not my question. The guy who installed them put anywhere from 3 to 5 oz total weights (inside and out) to get them balanced. Some of the outside ones are .5 oz (not too noticable) and some are 2.5 oz (very noticable). How is it that all the pics I see of C1s never show any weights on the outside of the tire? Can they be balanced with just weights on the inside?
And, I just had the rims painted before mounting the tires. On 2 of the 4, paint was scraped off around the outside of the rim. Couldn't this have been done without scrapping paint off? It was on the other two.
