Road Force Tire Balance

[DavidAW]

Hi All,
Anyone have a recommendation for a shop that does Road Force Tire Balance and know how to balance big tires?

My MTs are shaking the rear end apart at 40mph and normal balancing didn't help anymore.

Thanks
Dave

There was that shell station over by odu mounted my 33s with no problems. A good shop won't put weights half way around the rim. They would unmount the tire and rotate it on the rim.

What is road force? The brand of tire? What size are they?

Hey Wes,
The road force is a machine that applies a couple thousand pounds to the spinning wheel and can tell the user where to match the rim to the tire.
I guess it takes some training to get right.
I understand it can cost 2 to 3 times the normal balancing cost.
Firestone has them, but they are not confident in their ability to use them.
Southern Performance says they do it on their website. I'm going to give them a call.

I have 33x12.5 Micky Tompsons about 5 years old. Lots of tread but they have seen some rocks.
I've got a lot of weights on the rears and it still vibrates the whole drive train at 40ish.

Thanks
