Tire balance
Got a call from the mechanic and he asked if he wanted me to place weights on the outside or inside (currently on inside). Asked him to do it inside and he stated that the tire gets a better balance if they are on the outside. Is this true?

technically yes, but not really anything you would ever notice under say 150mph. He is just being a lazy asshole cause outside weights are easier to balance than inside.

Inside on the aftermarket wheels...usually the little tapeweights.
