Snow/Ice kill wheel balance

Learned something “new” this past snowstorm. If you take advantage of the FWD / BLIZZACK combo and play snowmobile for any length of time AND temps are sub freezing, ice can attach to the rims and actually throw the balance of your tires all out of whack.

The CL kicked ass all through the storm (okay the right side wiper disintegrated) but the next day, wheeling out on clear pavement - THUMP- THUMP-THUMP over 40 mph!

Quick call to mechanic - short test ride later, the RX was easy ...

Three hours in a heated garage at work and all is well with the world!

First time “I” ever experienced it . Thought I’d “share”!
