Got the new 130/80 yesterday, will mount them myself.
I wonder if its really needed to balance the TKC�s ?
I wont be able to do it myself.

Hi with ref to balancing look at your original tyre it should have a red mark on it, mine was near the balance wieghts on the rim, mark the rim with some chalk at that point. if you look on your new tkc 80 rear there should be a red circle/crayon mark on the tread at the heaviest point. replace in same position as the original. My front tkc 80 has a red mark on the side of the tire. I did as above and have had no balance problems. As a double check before you put the wheel on put the spindal through the wheel and give it a spin it should not stop at the same place every time
