shortcut to balancing it

Universal balancing machines are adaptable for balancing a considerable variety of sizes and types of rotors. These machines commonly have a capacity for balancing rotors whose weight varies as much as 100–1 from maximum to minimum.

Static wheel balancing technically refers to a wheel that's center of gravity is balanced around its axis of rotation. If a wheel is statically imbalanced, then the heavy spot will fall to the bottom. By placing the matching weight on the opposite side of the heavy spot, the imbalance can be dialed out.

Recommendation. Disclaimer: To achieve maximum results it is important to use the proper package size for each tire. As a rule of thumb, the amount of Counteract required per tire is based on one ounce per thirteen pounds of tire.

Wheel balancing is important because wheels lose their balance over time. Factors concerning the weight distribution of your vehicle, road conditions and tread wear can cause an unevenness in the tires, which can then lead to further uneven tread wear. As a result, the vehicle might shake or vibrate while in use.

Balance Tires on Your Own. If your tires are out of balance, you can fix them yourself at home/in your garage. You can balance tires with or without a balance. However, you must know the mechanical parts of the wheel and the vehicle overall.
