2E-2 TIRE AND WHEELS
TIRE AND WHEEL BALANCING
There are two types of tire and wheel balancing: static
and dynamic.
Static balance is the equal distribution of weight around
the wheel. Assemblies that are statically unbalanced
cause a bouncing action called wheel tramp. This condi-
tion may eventually cause uneven tire wear.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Dynamic balance is the equal distribution of weight on
each side of the centerline so that when the assembly
spins there is no tendency for it to move from side to
side. Assemblies that are dynamically unbalanced may
cause wheel shimmy.
KAA2E010
KAA2E020
General Balance Precautions
Remove all deposits of foreign material from the inside
of the wheel.
Caution: Remove stones from the tread in order to
avoid operator injury during spin balancing.
Inspect the tire for any damage. Balance the tire accord-
ing to the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations.
KAA2E030
Wheel Weights
If more than 85 grams (3.0 ounces) are needed to static
balance the wheel, split the wheel weights as equally
as possible between the inboard and the outboard
flanges.
Balancing the assemblies with factory alloy wheels re
quires the use of special nylon-coated, clip-on wheel
weights. These weights are designed to fit over the
thicker rim flange of the alloy wheel. Install these
weights with a plastictipped hammer.
Adhesive wheel weights are also available. Use the
following procedure to install adhesive wheel weights.
