Alloy balance weights and tyre pressures

Hi - what are peoples experiences with stick on wheel balance weights. Mine do not seem to very well stuck on and I am adding some tape in the hope they will not come off. I now have 185/60-14 tyres and was wondering what the appropriate tyre pressure might be, my old manual says 18psi front and 23psi rear for 'stock' tyres and wheels - Thanks

I've had Dunlop D98J in 175/60 and ran 27 front 25 rear.
With the 185's be very careful turning into drive ways as on bump they will hit the guards....

The wheel surface where the weights attach must be clean. Some shops are more careful than others. I clean the area around the weights with brake cleaner and apply aluminum foil tape over the weights. The aluminum foil tape is found at home improvement/hardware stores where you find HVAC parts and supplies. It will handle the heat generated by the tires and brakes.
