Question: Does tire pressure affect how accurately or quickly a wheel/tire combo is balanced? What if the pressure in the tires is 5-10psi more or less than recommended - will that hinder the technician’s ability to balance them quickly? Should I set my car’s cold tire pressures as close as possible to recommended pressures before driving to a garage to have them balanced?
Thank you for the question, and apologies for the late reply. A tire technician should set the tire PSI to cold pressure spec before balancing, for best results. The pressure spec doesn't effect the speed of balancing on our machine. Checking your tire pressure is always a good thing, but you can also ask the shop to acknowledge that they will set the pressure during their balance procedure.
difference between discount tire shop vs professional I imagine. I can see this having a bigger effect on higher quality cars and trucks. I'm sure super cars and similar quality vehicles have sensors that would throw up warning codes if this kind of in depth mounting wasent done. I bet this is not a cheap machine as well. I wonder if discount tire shops can afford a machine like this or even need it ?
Discount Tire uses these, though not exactly like this. A vibration is a vibration regardless of vehicle. The cheaper your tires the more benefit I'd imagine that you experience since they can be more inconsistent. If you have a bent wheel it's also good. There really no reason to not have your tires balanced. Just because there isn't a code doesn't meant hat it is right. Also some tires are just defective as well and balancing them you can see if they're far enough out of spec and the tire place can possibly replace them and RMA them.
Take a look a the video called "Why Do My Balanced Wheels Still Shake?". You might consider finding a shop with a RoadForce balancer, it can audit the wheel and tire together, and make suggestive corrections (like rotating the tire on the wheel to a spot with less 'out-of-round' imbalance).
I purchased a new tire balance machine and I balanced a new tire and aluminum wheel and set it in the rack and when the truck came for installation I put it back on the balance machine to show the owner it was balanced, to my surprise it was asking for 3.75 more weight for to be balanced ? is that normal ? should it not have still been balanced, thanks
Hello, I believe you are referring to tape or clip weight locations (color dots), and then the SmartWeight limits for static & dynamic imbalance are also displayed via color indications inside the small tire pictures in the lower corners of the screen. If you have further questions about the displays & information on a blancer, please call your local Service Representative, and they can come by any explain some of the display information on the screen.
One question...if i have winter tyres on hiw own steel wheels (balanced when instaled first time on wheels)...and summer tyres on his own alloy wheels...do i need to balance tyres every year when i replacing it, for example before winter, when im taking off summer tyres, and putting winter tyres, do i need to balance it every year!? Thanks
We are lucky enough to have the HD version of this, is a wonderful diagnostic tool, however most techs keep it in bypass mode, I call this the "half ass factor ".(theirs is usually full size)......(I know, how common of me to notice)
Yes, we have many of these machines being used in mobile applications. The key factors are the strength of the floor and calibration. Generally speaking, wooden floors are best as they are more consistent than metal floors. On metal floors the balancer feet can land between supports causing flexing of the floor and inaccurate balance results. Also, whenever setting up to balance, it is always best to calibrate the machine as the machine has been moving around and temperatures have been changing, etc..
That smart weight function is absolute garbage. It does absolutely nothing for balancing the wheels. We always get come backs with vibration cause of it.
Sorry to hear about that. SmartWeight has proven to reduce comebacks in most shops, so it sounds like your machine may need a check up. Please contact your Hunter representative for help, their contact information can be found via entering your zip code at www.hunter.com.
The sad truth is most shops have no idea how to properly use the machine and to rebalance the machine.
In my case, they don't want to know till they get a repeat vibration complaint, then this thing is the champ......an ounce of prevention......

This was awesome 💯
damn there are a lot of steps to this. we don't worry about the valve stem at the discount tire I work at
Question...
Can you tell me how long it takes to do wheel alignment and balancing with that tool?
im very confused

@@HunterLearningChannel I already set vehicle-recommended pressure the morning I brought the car to be balanced.

Discount has the best machines
I have aftermarket wheels so apparently my wheels are off by 2 oz but the computer says there balance but my steering wheel shakes at 60

@@HunterLearningChannel Are you implying the tires are out of round?
Before trying anything drastic, change lug nuts.

I want to know how the wheel balancer really works... How can it detect it and so on.

Best practice is if you remove the tyre completely then remove the weight and rebalance the wheel again!
What is meaning color dots on the side of the tiers
&
The colors circle around the tiers ?

Yes, we would recommend a balance check after driving throughout the season.
Yes you need to balance again

Could a machine like this operate when its not on perfectly level ground? For example if it was installed in a van.

I don't like design . Kill time. Good mashin. Should everything. By himself. Good video
How is it that those small weights would do anything to how the wheel spins?
جيد جدا
How do I know, where exactly to put the weights ?

Way to much to balance a tire. We'd have to cut productivity be about 20% if we did this every time
this is the disease of modern society. productivity at the expense of work quality.
