Carl Gruel wrote "Donna and I are back from our 6-week trip to Montana (via Aspen, CO to see son and family) -  we'll send you a summary of that trip with a few pix later.  What I wanted to send to you today was that you may remember we had a front tire blowout in late May, 2011 on our way back from Florida.  We got that all repaired and included 6 NEW Michelin tires as part of the repair.  The local shop where I got the tires did not have the equipment to spin balance 19.5-inch tires, so they added a balancing-powder to the tires.  Well, after 5,500+ miles, I can tell you-all that the balancing powder DOES NOT WORK!!!  the front tires had an out-of-balance vibration between 65 and 70MPH (at first), which had gotten down to between 59 and 70MPH by the time we got home.  We were sick of it!  I went back to the tire shop and they threw up their hands saying, there was nothing else they could do.  With help and advice from Bobby Dyke and Mo Martin, I have an appointment at Thurston Springs in Richmond on 7/15/11 to get the front tires spin balanced!  One of the requirements was that the tires be dismounted and the balancing-powder taken out - I just went back to the tire shop and had this chore done!  I'll let you and the membership know later how well that works out!"
