While tire balancing might seem straightforward, advancements in automotive technology have added complexity to achieving the perfect ride. For most drivers, standard balancing methods are sufficient. However, if you experience persistent vibration issues, you may need to consider road force balancing for a more precise solution.

What causes vibration issues?
If you've balanced your tires and wheels but still experience ride issues, there could be other factors at play, rooted in the inherent nature of tire and wheel manufacturing. Although wheel and tire production is highly precise, achieving a perfect circle is challenging. Consequently, some variations in weight, stiffness, and balance are inevitable. These inconsistencies, known as lateral or radial runout, create high or low points in the construction of the wheel and tire.

Additionally, some tires may have areas with varying stiffness, a condition known as force variation. Both runout and force variation can lead to noticeable ride vibrations. If standard balancing doesn't resolve the issue, these factors might be the underlying cause.

What is match mounting and road force balancing?

A common solution for addressing issues like lateral or radial runout and force variation is match mounting.

Here's how it works: a road force tire balancer uses a load roller to simulate road conditions and gather data on the overall uniformity of the wheel and tire assembly. It measures both the force variation and runout of the entire wheel and tire package, as well as the individual radial and lateral runout of each component. This detailed assessment provides a clearer understanding of how well your tire and wheel are working together.

The balancer measures runout and force variation of the entire wheel and tire system. Our technicians are provided with a detailed picture of how a client's tire and wheel combination are working together as the balancer is able to measure the radial and lateral runout of the tire and wheel separately.
