If you have ever tried to ballance big off road tyres
you would see why there is so much lead on them..

Most tyres like that aren't ballanced as the rim isn't
big enough for all the weight to go on.. :lol:

You could beat all that out flat and do a whole church roof!

On a more serious note, I doubt that you would be doing 100mph on a set of them anyway so probably not much to worry about.

OOOh yes, that's nasty.  See why I'm not the biggest fan of remoulds?  
Have you ever tried driving on Grizzlys, they make for a b****y awful road tyre anyway.

And don't you think there's so much lead there it's becoming counter-productive?
