Customer satisfaction

Eliminate wheel-related vibration for a smooth ride

Measure & match the tire to wheel assembly

1. An unknown force vibrates the spindle

The customer notices strong vehicle vibrations. Vibration is transferred from the wheel through the steering column to the driver.

 

2. Specialized sensors measure the assembly

The HD Elite™ wheel balancer automatically measures runout (eccentricity) of a tire and wheel assembly. The roller measures the entire contact patch of the tire, detecting if the assembly is out-of-round.

3. Match-mounting cancels the vibration

Match-mounting the high spot on a tire to the low spot on a rim makes the assembly roll as smoothly as possible. Runout-related vibration is minimized, ensuring your customer a smoother ride and longer tire life.

Match dual assemblies to maximize tire life

Opposing high spots

Dual tire assemblies with aligned high spots (1) behave like single assemblies with runout. Marking and installing wheels with high spots 180 degrees opposed (2) makes the dual assembly more round than the two assemblies alone and reduces vibration.

Unequal load on duals

Mismatched diameters on dual tires causes the larger tire (2) to carry more load, thus generating more heat and reducing tire life. The lesser diameter tire (1) may develop premature tire wear due to slippage relative to the road surface.

 

Revolutions per mile

Dual tire assemblies with mismatched diameters cause the smaller tire (1) to turn faster and thus be dragged along with the larger tire (2). For example, if one tire has just 1/8-in. less tread depth than the other, it will be dragged 33.3 feet per mile traveled.
