My dealer offered to fill my rear tires on my new BX2370 for free so i dropped them off this morning and picked them up this afternoon. We were discussing total weight and he asked if i would text him later to let him know how they turned out. I just got them off the scale and the right one is 174lbs and the left is 164lbs. The tires and wheels weighed about 46-47 lbs before so i got a total of 118 to 128lbs of weight in them. My question is should i add or remove liquid to make them match? I was thinking i could drain 5lbs from one and put it into the other or just drain 10lbs total out of the one.....Or does it not really matter on the 10lb difference? If i do decided to drain or transfer weight how does the process work? thanks guys.

I'm no expert but I can't see where it would be any problem. Its not like a car going 50 mph and they are out of balance.I'm sure I've had 10 lbs of mud on one tire a few times...

It is like all things ... strive for perfection, but settle for close enough...

10 lbs difference is only one gallon of fill, no big deal.
