How to use a wheel balancer

Ever wonder what balancing your wheels/tires consists of ?
In this video I’ll show you how to use a wheel balancer. I’ll show you what each setting is for and how to use them. I’ll also show you how you know where to put each weight and what settings are for sticky weights.

Can you tell me how important the "A" dimension on your machine is in regard to the the final wheel balancing required? I ask this because the wheel balancing machines that I have is missing the device that measures this distance.

I purchased a new tire balance machine and I balanced a new tire and aluminum wheel and set it in the rack and when the truck came for installation I put it back on the balance machine to show the owner it was balanced, to my surprise it was asking for 3.75 more weight for to be balanced ? is that normal ? should it not have still been balanced, thanks

Just got new tires and one tire have just one weight clip on inside.Nothing outside? Is that normal to be unbalanced just on one side?

[alexz]

So is it okay to stagger the wheel weights like you just did after it wanted .25 more?

I cant believe you've put 2 weights on the same side. This tutorial was ok until you've done that. i feel sory for your customers!
