That one bad thing about tire weights is the dirt and other crud that is going to get burned off. Not to mention the moisture that the "crud" holds. Could spit, spatter, or blow up if your melting in bulk.
Price of lead is heading north pretty quickly with the new regulations. With prices where they are, it doesn't make sense to buy other than in bulk.

I saw some pretty decent prices on ebay last week. $13 shipped for 5.5lbs
