Wheel Balancing
Does anyone have trouble keeping their wheels balanced? Mine seem to last just a few thousand miles. I don't know whether I'm throwing weights or what. I always have them put the weights on the inside as I don't like the looks of them on the outer rim.

It's either you're loosing the weights or pot holes, which I doubt is an issue in your area. How are your tires and wheel alignment? I'm guessing you have some thumping symptoms while you drive which are usually attributed to balancing, but have you checked the alignment?
