Is anyone using a set of Sumitomo HTR H4 P205/60 R14 tires and if so how do they take a high speed balance? Regards. John. Henderson,NV.

A balance on your normal spin balancer is good at any speed you will be running them.

Breaking them in, proper wheel size, correct inflation, and shaving will all contribute to the life of the tire.
Reducing the amount of unsupported tread will help retain the bond to the casing and maintain the shape that is important to the balance.
