Yea, I may switch back to them for the time being.

Can you remove a stamped on balance weight and replace with the sticky ones?

what the hell is a stamped on weight? you mean a clipped on? balancing with sticky weights suckssssssss but its doable. just remind me.

you remove all of the weights anyways to rebalance a tire.

Ohh, its not that bad. Little soap and water, scrub off the spot, and whao! Balanced.

Mounting/Balancing isn't hard. But to the people that have it down to an artform, they are the greatest tech you can have.
