Wheel weights — are they worth it any more?
Gentlemen,
For several years I’ve had access to take-off wheel weights form a local tire shop. The owner charges me 30-cents a pound for ALL the take-off weights, which includes those made or pewter. Of course, I sort out the pewter of which I have little use for. What I’ve noticed is that every month the ratio (by volume) of pewter to lead keeps increasing. Today when I sorted a bucket full, almost 40 percent were of pewter. That’s the most it’s ever been.
What experience has others had regarding the increase in pewter weights? Considering the hassel of hauling and sorting, I’m thinking it may not be worth the effort any more.
What are your thoughts?
Thank you in advance.
