Balancing/optimizing wheels

In certain cases, it may be necessary to measure radial force variations. This should be done before normal balancing is performed.

The entire process is subdivided into several operations:

1. Fitting the tire on the rim.

2. A - Measure radial force variations and optimize the wheels if necessary. Afterwards, balance the wheels.

B - As an alternative to item 2 A, if there is no device available to measure radial force variations: Stationary balancing of the wheel (eliminating static and dynamic imbalance) with optimization of rolling smoothness.

3. Fitting the wheel on the vehicle.
