[VAC] Wheell balencing

["Mr. Joy H. Hansen" <joytbrew@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Just removed the wheels/hubs to check the bearings, etc. on the '74 Argosy.
Thought I might find something that looked abnormal.  Not so!  Anyway, I
noticed that one of the drums wanted to move so a heavy section was at the
bottom.  As I recall, there was mention that the tire/drum must be balanced
as a unit.  Since I didn't mark the drum/wheel position, is it necessary to
balance the entire  unit?

I also noticed that all four tires are different marks and/or ratings.  Some
8 ply, some 6 ply some tube type and some tubeless.  I think it's a mess!
All are substantially weather checked and I haven't been able to find the
manufacture date on the tires.  Some are Canada others are U.S. manufacture.
Whew!

The question from this knowledgeable list "Do I balance the tires with the
rim and drum?"

                                                         '74 Argosy,  Joy
