Wheel weight/tape article and a method of using

The present invention relates to novel articles that can be used to balance tires, which articles can be firmly attached to a wheel surface and later removed without damaging the wheel surface or leaving adhesive or other tape residue thereon. Easily removable, pressure-sensitive adhesive tape/wheel weight articles are provided. The articles of the invention comprise (a) a stretchable tape, wherein the tape has a first major surface and a second opposing major surface; and (b) a weight attached to the first major surface of the tape; wherein said tape is capable of being firmly bonded to a wheel via the second major surface of the tape and further being capable of being removed from the wheel and the weight after being stretched at an angle no greater than about 35 degrees from the surface of the wheel.
