Can anyone comment on how these Wide Oval radial tires balanced? I heard from someone that their set took a LOT of weight compared to BFG T/A tires on the same wheels. Anyone else hear of issues?

I have a set of RF70-14 red lines mounted on original 14x6 rally's. The best wheel was 3oz. and the worst was 6oz.

Not from my personal experience, but I did read on some Camaro website where another member posted that his new wide oval radials took less weight than the same size bias plies.

I have the Firestone Wide Oval Radials on my Nova and they ride just like any high quality radial tires. They also balanced with no huge amount of weights. I've had the car at highway speeds a number of times with no issues with vibrations etc...

I finally got the G-70-15's RWL radials I've been wanting for a year. I called Coker, and they told me they were making them but were out of stock. Then they came 2 days later. I guess they had a shipment come in.
