Tire balancing has a new god!!!

[inacoma]

Just got my 37" krawlers mounted and balanced on replica tundra 17" rims....good lookin' lx450 now!!

...best part...balancing was a freakin' breeze, unlike all my other experiences.

found a shop that balances with the GSP9700 (RoadForce, puts 1400 # of pressure on the tire for bead seeting, and other funky balancing calcs). It also does a matching process (he recommended that that only be done for high speed cars, not large tires like we run), so I didn't order that menu item. But did get everything else that machine has to offer...and at 15 bucks a wheel (mounted, on another hunter with rubber cleats and super soft operation, and balanced).

All I can say is that it WORKS!!!! The first time he put weights on, was the ONLY time he needed to...after that they all read 0 oz. Worst tire was 4.75 oz best tire was 2.0 oz. Now that's awesome...and I attribute that to this machine , it is not only pretty but performs flawlesly. Used sticker weights to keep rocks off.

so in the end, I highly recommend chassing down one of these machines for balancing your meats.

Hunter GSP9700 is awesome, I mentioned it eons ago, as the cats meow in balancing I even bought my tires from a shop that has one, I don't think they used it to balance my MT/R's but they have free lifetime balancing and I have peace of mind that if I have problems they can always use the GSP9700. I had them use the GSP9700 to balance my tires after I spent over $1000 trying to fix the steering wheel shake on my BMW , it did the trick

Snap-On tire balancer = POS. Mine has been broken more over the past two years than it has worked. It is on it's third main board. The last time the repair guy was out it took him three trips to get it to spin a tire, then I had to call him again because he didn't calibrate the new board.

Discount tires has "match balancing" machines and it sounds like the machine Kumar is referring to. This machine simulates road pressure and balances the tires that way. I wonder if it's the same exact machine? I'll have to check it out.

I think it's the same machine...from other cronnies in CO saying so (ahm, mabrodis). There are no 4wpw out here in kansas.

See, if everyone had bias ply swampers, there would be no need to balance them unless done so daily.
