1.16.5 Wheel and Tire Balancing Procedure
Wheels with a sensitive surface, glued-on wheel trim, refer to
⇒ "1.16.4 Wheels with a Sensitive Surface, Glued-On Wheel
Trim", page 37 .
Caution
The balance weights must be glued on so that rub against the
brake caliper or the suspension.
– Let the wheel and tire rotate on the wheel balancer.
– Check the run of the characteristic lines on the sidewall of the
tire in the area of the rim flange.
– Check the tire wear pattern while the wheel and tire are rotat‐
ing.
Note
In the event of one-sided wear, flat spots from braking or severe
wear spots, smooth running cannot be achieved by balancing. In
this case, the tire must be replaced.
– Check the run-out of the wheel and tire. If the wheel with tire
runs untrue although there are no flat spots, a radial or lateral
run-out may be the cause.
– Check wheel with tire for radial and lateral run-out, radial run-
out (RR) and lateral runout (LR)!
– If the radial and lateral run-out are within the specified toler‐
ance, balance the wheel and tire.
