Product information says "May cause excessive vibration when installed in front tires or all four tires." Can't use on all 4 tires? Doesn't make sense

What are you installing Slime into. I don't believe they recommend using slime for any tire that will be used on highways. It is mainly for construction equipment, farm equipment any off-road vehicle that does not require wheel balancing. It is not recommended,if I remember correctly, for any speeds over 35-45 mph. Yes it can be used on front tires. My commercial mower has it in all 4 tires. i have used Slime now for 5 months without having to add air to any tires. Previously I had to add air every use because of thorns and briars sometimes every couple hours. I can not believe I never installed Slime before this, what a timesaver.

I've got it in three of the four tires on my 1979 VW bus and don't notice any vibrations even going down the freeway at 65-70 miles an hour----I've used it for years to stop slow leaks in tires-----It can be washed out with water if you don't like it----

I use it in all 4 tires of my quad - no problem! Sure beats carrying a spare (and this stuff really works).

I use this stuff in Lawn Mower tires so vibration is not a factor. I suppose if you installed globs of this stuff into vehicles tires and then ran them down the interstate you would wind up with tires out of balance and vibrations like crazy.

I put these mirrors on my Land Master UTV, and I don't hardly get any vibration. A lot depends on how, and where you mount a mirror to the Vehicle. If it's mounted on a flimsy frame, it will vibrate. Mike

No idea.... Bought 2 took them to. A bike shop and had them mounted. I suspect that they can be used front or rear. Look for direction of rotation on the. Tire.

They say too much offset can cause problems with steering wheel kick back and stresses on the vehicle suspension. That's why I won't buy rims with more than a 10mm difference from the OEM.

I suggest taking the rims and your tires to a tire shop. It's not expensive to have them mount and balance your tires/wheels for you. They will balance it like any other wheel. Their machine will spin the tire/wheel combo to tell them which side and how much weight to add. They will stick on small steel plates to the inside of the rim to balance.

In short, no. I took the advice of some on the net and made extension stubs from the tailgate out of double sleeve rubber tubing from the hardware store. I'm not sure that this had much impact but the factory stubs were there for some reason and I assume to pad any vibration. I will add that the extension and larger tire did affect the Yakima bike rack. No matter what I did, the rack gave a noticeable bounce and noise over sharp bumps at speeds over 20 mph. It did not do this with the factory tire and attachment.

i honestly don't know, (never tried before) but I would imagine that it's really just suppose to get enough air into the tire so you can drive to a service station to top it off. don't think I would put all 4 in. hope I never have to find out. good luck

do not use them for any vehicle, it is waste of money and time, i have a few of them and will give them to you for half price. do not use them. they are very unsafe and it is not the correct way of lowring a vehicle.

We had 4 bikes on it and none was hitting the car. However, the rack BROKE from the weight of the bikes (2 adult, 2 kids bikes) and the constant vibrations you get when you drive. Be careful! You don't want it to break while driving and have the bikes fall down on the road!

Thank you for your question. I personally did notice that when I would shut the tailgate with my 15X8 wheel and 33" tire the tire would wobble, so I would just hold the tire when I was shutting the tailgate and there was no problem (I really think it has something to do with our TJ model tailgate with the additional size and weight of the wheel/tire and not so much the mount, though being extended out an inch or so it may influence it as well). Now when I was driving on the road and trails I didn't notice any wobble or vibration coming from the mount, only when was shutting the tailgate. I hope this helps. Thank you for your question.

I have these units installed on terrazzo decking on a Navy barge. I restrain the "pair" by strapping them to the wall. I did once have a real bad vibrationi issue when my installer neglected to remove the vibration dampening spring restraints at the base of the unit. These are installed by the manufacturer to keep the washer drum "quiet" during transportation, but must be removed upon installation.

Any exterior chain products has the potential to have some tire/rim damaged if not used to manufactures instructions. Fitment and suggested speed is critical for not causing damage. I suggest making sure that none of the chain or cable components are not touching the rim and that the cross members that run across the tire face does not fall between the treads. If this happens it is called tread lock and tire damage is possible. Please read the instruction, note our waiver of claim if not used and or installed properly.

Check to make sure the blade is installed properly. It's easy to get the blade just off center and that will cause a really bad vibration. Other then that, it's a 2 stroke. After using it for awhile your hands will feel funny when you stop.

This unit will work on up to 4 wheels at one time. I have one set of tire sending units for my truck, and one set of 4 for my car hauler trailer. With this unit you must re program the recieving unit with the tire sending unit numbers you choose to use at any specific time. There are systems, that are much more expensive, that can be used with up to 18 tires at one time. There are also systems that may be used for up to 8 tires? Again, relatively expensive?

Error on the safe side. Take your tires to 110 and check with a different gauge and you will be happy.

My front tire was really hard to turn at first but it eventually loosened up. I am not sure about the shaking though - mine doesn't shake. I would call the company - it is too much money not to work properly.

If you gently spin the inner gaue part around it should line up a number even with the outer body (best I can describe it)...if it doesn't (like the closest is 4.5) then use the lower number to be safe...also, remember to take multiple readings from different areas on the same tire...JM2CYMMV.
