Is it normal if I balance a tire and it reads zero, unmount the rim from the balancer, rotate it 90 degrees, mount it and balance it again that it says it needs weight? I can zero it but it always gives me a different reading of I take it off and try to balance it again. Is this normal? Coats balancer
Keung, great question. It's not uncommon to see some variation in readings when remounting a tire on a balancer, even if it initially reads zero. No tire or rim is perfectly balanced and this can been observed when rotating the tire on the rim. The movement of the tire on the wheel changes the weight distribution and caused the balance to change.
I would love to see if you can balance a tire to 0 without weight. I have a tire company that says it's possible and he had balanced all four without weights on a truck.i said it was impossible.and extremely rare if at all.claibraiton in order?what do you think.
@coreywilson3326, I would agree with you that Balancing a tire to 0 without weights is extremely rare due to manufacturing variances and wear. While theoretically possible with perfect tires and wheels, it's impractical in everyday scenarios. Calibration issues could also affect balance.
Thank you for the shot out. Great video, very well explained
Thank you!
can you do a, how to remove a tire from a rim?
Thanks for the video =)
