3E-8 WHEELS AND TIRES
GENERAL BALANCE PROCEDURE
Deposits of mud, etc. must be cleaned from the inside
of the rim.
The tire should be inspected
for the following: match
mount paint marks, bent rims, bulges, irregular tire
wear, proper
wheel size and inflation pressure. Then
balance according to the equipment manufacturer's
recommendations.
There are
two types of wheel and tire balance.
Static balance is the equal distribution
of weight
around the wheel.
Assemblies
that are statically unbalanced cause a
bouncing action
called tramp. This condition will
eventually
cause uneven tire wear (Fig. 3E-11 ).
Dynamic balance is the equal distribution of weight on
each side
of the wheel center-line so that when the tire
spins there
is no tendency for the assembly to move
from side to side. Assemblies that are dynamically
unbalanced may cause shimmy (Fig. 3E-12).

Stones should
be removed from the tread to
avoid operator injury during spin balancing and
to obtain a
good balance.
BALANCING WHEEL AND TIRE
ON-VEHICLE
BALANCING
On-Vehicle balancing methods vary with equipment
and tool manufacturers. Be sure to follow each
manufacturer's instructions during balancing
operation.
OFF-VEHICLE BALANCING
Most electronic off-vehicle balancers are more
accurate than the on-vehicle spin balancers. They are
easy to use and give a dynamic balance. Although
they
do not correct for drum or disc unbalance (as on­
vehicle
spin balancing does), they are very accurate
(Fig. 3E-13).
