Default Tires

Anyone have good advice on bubble balancing as well as finding the heavy spots on unmounted wheels.

Find heavy spot on rim

Find heavy spot on tire

Mark them both and then set the opposite of each other when assembling. Hoping to static balance myself as well as reduce the amount of weight needed for a balance. Also trying to reduce the out of round factor during assemble

Thanks for any info that I can get....

2 words, Dyna Beads. I use them in my motorcycle tires as well as my truck, smooth ride for both and they dynamically balance the tires as they wear down.

Just rotate them, the balance is on going.

Also the days of high/low spots on tires/wheels are over, technology took care of that.
