Good Info: Car Tyre and Rims

How would they know where to mark and shift? I thought only road force balances can do that. Think I need to watch the hunter video again.

I’ve never seen normal balancing where they deflate and rotate the Tyre on the wheel. Not even the ss14 shop you recommended.

When the weights are a lot more than 80gms, means the tyre and rim have combine weight on one side, they just mark the tyre where the valve is and rotate 180 degrees. So far it has worked bringing the weights down. If not mistaken only once I saw that fail, and tyre shop remove the tyres and change to another. They mention tyre fault and will send back to manufacturer for further checking......lol

Why is there a need to completely remove the tyre from the rim?

No need for balancing procedure, just explaining remounting.....lol

For balancing just need to de-bead tyre from the rim edge then and shift the tyres around the rims before inflating back....
