Just had 2 new front tyres on the car, its first tyre change from new at 17000 miles. Noticed when I got the car home that they've had to use about 5 balancing weights (of different sizes) on each wheel. Why is this? Never seen this many weights used. They are quite noticeable too because they are between the spokes on the alloys on both wheels. Is this a problem with the wheel or the tyre?
The tyres are mid-range Kumhos (£110) replacing Michellin Pilot sport 3s (£150) on these alloys:
