I'm spoiled here in TX and run summer tires all year round.

I used to have this issue on my Z06 with factory Grandsport 11"wheels with Hoosiers.A lot of Vette guys balance the wheels bare then mount the tires to help deal with this issue. |

Tire shops must hate you! You've almost got me sold on this no balancing thing.

Honestly, I'm finding this somewhat mindblowing. I've personally experienced vibration on the road from improperly balanced wheels/tires (though not on this car) and it scares me to think of what that would do at twice the speed or more.

Knurling should help or eliminate the tire turning issue.I have only seen it on track specialized wheels.Funny thing is that I do not see any mention of it on the HRE or Forgeline sites

Fun fact. GTRr's are one of the few cars that come with knurled rims from the factory. |

Interesting thread.
I've never thought about not balancing wheels for the track. Personally I use all my wheels both on the street and the track and if I don't balance them (well the front at least) I get a bit of an unpleasant vibration at freeway speeds. Every time it seems. Which is equally felt on the track. We hit 155+ at AAA speedway and the shake of unbalanced wheels is a mild inconvenience but an inconvenience nonetheless (IMHO) I balance my own wheels on an friend's old Snap On balancer. Static first then dynamic. I use HVAC/aluminum tape from Harbor Freight and the weights stay put even at 100°+ track days. I do try to remove all the tire gummies from the wheels after track days. |
