Thanks Tom.
I've got more toe-in than that so that at freeway speed (>70mph) I don't
have to adjust my lean-out to an uncomfortable angle. The wind-drag on
this car is HUGE due to it's enclosed design and weight (>250lbs)
I know I'm sacrificing tire life but 6500 miles is still okay with me.
The "Block K" is a bit worrisome because I can drop the car in less than
two minutes and I don't know how that tire would handle solo.
I like the stick and feel of the K491, even worn 'flat' from the car
use. What's your experience with the "Block K" solo?
I'm mainly trying to see if cutting out the cost of paying for balancing
on four tires a year is worth getting into doing it myself.
Thanks for the response.

You may went to check your toein and lean.
toein 1/2 ins or less.
Go to a "Block K" rear tire it has a flat tread and is a sidecar tire.

Tire balancing????

The last year and a half with the sidecar has increased my tire wear
considerably and was just wondering if a balancer was even worth
consideration.
I've got all the irons and breaker to do the changing but no balancer.

Thanks
