Default Re: Tire wheel balancing: is it needed ?

In many cases balancing isn't mandatory . I mostly don't wait for problems . I want mine to be as smooth as possible . I now always have my wheels and tires balanced before installation as I would on the modern vehicles . We usually don't drive our model A's faster than 50-55 . Our mechanical brakes work about as well as modern . Hydraulic activation doesn't necessarily improve the brakes . If the inner parts aren't worn out and the brakes are properly adjusted and set up correctly , mechanical brakes can function very well .
