Question Keep losing wheel weights

I drive a 1996 F150 4x4 351 with stock rims and 31 in tires. But for some reason I keep losing the wheel weights . It happens no matter what kind of road i am on. Do you think it has to do with who is putting them on,the type of weight used or the ford rim ??

You don't note if you have aluminum or steel wheels. If you have aluminum wheels, try to find a shop with MC series weights. They follow the contour of the wheel bead area on my '93 & are the only weights that don't fly off. I actually found that Sears has them, along with a contour gauge to help them select the proper weight contour for the wheel. There are a number of different weight types available, but most shops only carry a couple, to keep inventory costs down.
