Use current location
When mounting wheels & tires on to the vehicle, ensure the following checks are made: - Wheels are not damaged in any way - There is no dirt or oily build up between the hub and the wheel - Lugs are properly torqued - Both tire beads are securely mounted - Any retaining clips on the brake drums are removed Tires are manufactured to close tolerances, however as they wear their mass can become unevenly distributed, negatively affecting the original balance. The most common signs of unbalanced tires are vibration problems. These can affect the speed, handling, and mileage of your vehicle. Balancing is done by a computer that spins the wheel / tire assembly, senses heavy spots, and gives a location for the technician to apply weight to counter the heavy spots. The best type of balance is a dynamic balance, and this should be performed whenever possible. (Some rim designs will not allow this type of balance and you would have to settle for a static balance)
