Yep to the former, we gotta have our tires balanced.

Lead wheel weights are already illegal to install in California and steel weights are common. So, lead will be gone in Calif. within one tire generation. Just as some cars are built nationally to meet the stricter Calif. emissions standards, I suspect the rest of the nation will follow the Calif. lead-free wheel weight program.
