Wheel weights

I don’t know what the deal is with wheel weights on the stock rims. They are prone to falling off. This normal or is there a way to keep these damn things on for a lot longer time? I usually get new ones if I have to get new tires or balance.

I've never thrown a tape-on weight. There is much to be said about having a very clean wheel barrel when installing new tires and having them balanced using these products.

Haven't had an issue with stick-on weights on my stock wheels. I've swapped for snow tires and back, so i'm on my 3rd set of weights and no issue.

However, i do remember when i got a new set of wheels for my Mustang, i had trouble with the weights. Before mounting the tires, i did a wipe down of the barrels. Night i got the car home on the new wheels, they peeled off on their own as the car sat. never saw that before. Ended up having to find some good solvent and really going to town on the barrels to get them to stick
