You can even tell the machine you only want to position the weight behind a spoke. Basically there i s a pedal you press ans you index each spoke and the machine will show a digital image on the monitor. It's an extra step, but for what they charge to balance with one of these, don't be afarid to ask.

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.

Road Force is the only machine that will tell a bad tire,NEW or old. Tire manufactures don't want you to know that they make BAD NEW TIRES. So why use any other mechine? Bent rims,crooned center hubs,and large run out's all can be done. It all can be done,BEST on a Road Force machine.
