Default Tire weight question

Do you all have weights on the outside of your sawblades or do you use stick on weights on the inside??

I have stick on weights now

I will be getting my extreem contact Dw's as soon as they can find them for 840 out the door.
The 285's are on back order they are trying to find some for me but they said they don't use stick on weights.

my 85 has never seen weights on the outside.
Over the years, I've had them balanced with the stick ons and when they didn't have, just on the inside of the wheel rim.

The best way to balance would be clamp-on weights on both inside and outside of the wheel. But weights are ugly! So I use stick-on.
