Tire balance, also referred to as tire unbalance or imbalance, describes the distribution of mass within an automobile tire or the entire wheel (including the rim) to which it is attached.
When the wheel rotates, asymmetries of mass may cause it to hop or wobble, which can cause ride disturbances, usually vertical and lateral vibrations. It can also result in a wobbling of the steering wheel or of the entire vehicle. The ride disturbance, due to unbalance, usually increases with speed. Vehicle suspensions can become excited by unbalance forces when the speed of the wheel reaches a point that its rotating frequency equals the suspension’s resonant frequency.
Tires are balanced in factories and repair shops by two methods: static balancers and dynamic balancers. Tires with high unbalance forces are downgraded or rejected. When tires are fitted to wheels at the point of sale, they are measured again on a balancing machine, and correction weights are applied to counteract the combined effect of the tire and wheel unbalance. After sale, tires may be rebalanced if driver perceives excessive vibration.
Here is a short clip on how to use our tire machine. Like always...this is not a complete training lesson and is intended to add to your information from the in class lesson and demonstartion. There are moving parts on this machine and you should always follow the instrcutions provided from the manufacturer when using all equipment.
Everyday driving can affect the balance of your tires. Nitto® Tire explains how your tires can come out of balance and how routine inspections for tire rotation and balance can extend the life of your tires and increase your driving enjoyment.
Here is a video where I show you how you can use a bubble balancer to balance a tire. It wont be as accurate as using a machine balancer but if done correctly you can get very close.

Visit me at: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/ I often get asked how to mount and balance a tire with tools at home and the truth is that's WAYYY too hard. It's much better and easier to use the equipment that was designed for it. In this video I show exactly that, how to use the proper equipment to mount and balance a tire. It's not terribly exciting but I do show some things that are necessary when performing this work on an aluminum wheel. You MUST clean the bead area before you mount a new tire onto an aluminum wheel or else it will forever leak at the bead. I say this because all too often I see a tire that leaks air that's just been installed where the rim was not cleaned. Enough of my soap box. Also this video only covers the 'basic' tire mount and balance. When it comes to low...

http://www.MyHonestMechanic.com Tire Balancing How do you know when the tires on your car are due for wheel balancing or wheel alignment? Does the steering wheel in your car shake and shimmy from side to side while you are driving? Does the shimmy get worse the faster you drive? Can you drive out of the shimmy? "How often should you have the tires and wheels balanced on your vehicle?" I like to rotate and balance my tires about every 3 oil changes, so about every 12,000 miles of driving. Tires are pretty expensive these days so I want to make sure I take care of them and get the most life out of them that I can. The "new" rule of thumb is to place your newest and best tires on the rear of the vehicle, so you have more traction and control during wet weather stopping on curves. If ...
Quickly showing how we balanced this wheel. Machine used was a Hunter Road Force GSP9700 with Straight Trak. Quite a bit better then the old balancer for many reasons. Then torquing the wheel on with a torque stick and impact gun.

This video shows how to change a motorcycle tire using a modified Harbor Freight tire changer, along with how to balance the tire when you are through. Explained is how simple modifications to the HF tire changer can turn it into a good working solid tool that will not damage your rims. The wheel balancer used is a static wheel balancer from Marc Parnes.
How to dismount your old tires, replace the tire valve, mount a new tire and balance the entire wheel assembly.

This is longer than I wanted it to be. They say the devil's in the details, so for someone who's never used a manual tire changer, this may be helpful. My comments about not caring about the tires is because I put them on a vehicle that got driven straight to the scrapyard, not sold to another party. :) The first few seconds show quick snapshots of the process so you can see if it's has the info you're looking for. Mark Swarbrick's comment: One thing you might want to tell your viewers. Make sure their garage floor is NOT a "Post Tension Slab"!! The concrete will be stamper "CAUTION THIS IS A POST TENSION SLAB. DO NOT CUT OR CORE". For a DIY non-marring install/removal bar, check out this vid..... https://youtu.be/85-K8Qi4UTA For more info on the anchors used.. https://www.youtube.co...

Anyone attempting this method of tire removal needs to know two things I left out in the video. YouTube does not allow annotations anymore so I can't put this info in the video. Read below: 1) If you use a shovel to break the bead (9:40), weaken the bead seal first before you try to break it. This will make it much easier to break the bead and much less dangerous because you won't have to jump on it so much. To do this, use the shovel to press down near the bead at multiple parts of the tire (like six or seven parts around the tire). You only need to use one foot to do this (but press down hard at each spot--don't hit the rim). Once the bead seal has been weakened, press down really hard next to the bead with the shovel (may have to jump on it as shown in the video--though very dang...

Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me
Well you can talk about your perestroika
And that's all right for you
But, Comrade Schevardnadze, tell me
What's a poor boy like me to do?
Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me
Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me
Well, we've been fightin' with the mujahaddin
Down in Afghanistan
Comrade Gorbachev, can I
Go back to Vladivostok, man?
Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me
Turmoil back in Moscow brought this turbulence down on me
(Russian lyrics-the friend of a friend says this might be a translation)
lost city on the red desert
I hear voices of enemies from everywhere
I miss my mother very much
"Village is lost in the red desert.
On all sides, silence of an enemy.
And we want to see our mothers." (that's another guess from another
friend-of-a-friend..thanks...)
