WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
If a wheel becomes unbalanced or if a tire is replaced or
repaired, the wheel must be rebalanced to within specification.
Maximum unbalance (at rim edge): 10 g (0.35 oz)
Caution
• Do not use more than two balance weights on the
inner or outer side of the wheel. if the total weight
exceeds 100 g (3.5 oz), rebalance after moving the
tire around on the rim.
• Attach the balance weights tightly so that they do
not protrude more than 3mm (0.12 in) beyond the
wheel edge.
• Select suitable balance weights for aluminum alloy
wheels.
