Default Re: Balancing Bias Ply Tires

I spoke with Mr. Kelsey and he said that the modern balancers are the best. Road Force may detect some vibrations, but even with new tires, that alone will not cause anyone to warrenty a tire.

On wheels, the problem comes out that the hub sometimes is not true center of the wheel. The trick then becomes finding a balancer that can balance using the studs (stud centric). Since the tires are set up that way, this method is the best way to balance, but 9 times out of 10, hub centric will get the job done.
