How about those little fishing sinkers I bite on so they clamp down on the line. I think they’re next.

Gee, now I’ll have to buy salmon sinkers instead of casting them from wheel weights. Oh, no big deal, I forgot that we’re not allow to fish for salmon anymore.
To: Red Badger
Your fishing sinkers are next.

How have people survived drinking Colorado water for thousands of years? The water table runs through these lead invested areas.
How do Texans, Louisiana, and Oklahomans live with all that oil in their water table? We are all gonna die, I tell you. You don't see any polar bears in Texas do you?

So what are they going to do about Leadville? The place high up in the mountains, it showers down lead on the rest of the country ... Lead is everywhere in Leadville.

It is common for wheel weights to come off when a vehicle hits a pothole in the road or stops suddenly, which results in lead entering the environment.
BS. Yes it does happen but its not “common”.
Happens now and again. But in all my years of driving, I’ve never lost a weight.

“reduce the amount of lead released into the environment “
Ummm. If lead dosen’t come from the environment, ie. the planet we live on,
then where does it come from? Then again if it will keep kids from sitting beside the road chewing on tire weights I guess thats a good thing.

To: Red Badger
There are already a number of alternatives to lead weights. There are powder, bead and liquid balancers that many would argue are better than a dead weight affixed to the rim. The internal balancing agents adjust as the tire wears using a very predictable force in the universe; centrifugal force.

NO! NO! There goes my suppliers of cheap lead for casting bullets!
I guess I will have to tap into my supply of X-Ray lead shielding for bullets.
To: Red Badger
Metallic lead is not that big an evironmental problem. Most of the used weights get "recycled", into more weights.. or bullets and shot.
Maybe it's not evironmental issues that they are really concerned about, but rather the ability of millions to "roll their own" ammunition?

Lord Obama (peace be upon him) will solve the problem by blessing us with a speed limit so low that we won’t need to balance our wheels. We will save oil and save the Earth, too.
If only we can survive long enough for Lord Obama to save us.
