I've only had one set of stick-ons start to die on me after 4 years. The
double sided tape had started to crumble but centripetal force kept the
weight on the wheel. These were summer alloys. The winter wheels have clamp
on weights.


Brendan, did you weigh the tape and calculate for the length per gram
number? That way you can make sure to apply the correct lenght of tape on
opposite side to rebalance the wheel. :-P
