How to Road-Force Balance a Tire

[@RubberDuc]

Man I wish the shops in my area took the care this guy did when mounting tires, true professionalism right there.

[@worlddatabase6657]

Rubber Duc she’s woman bro!

[@GCTireandAutoService]

I wish we could find more technicians. Thanks for the compliment.

[@CrystalWolf4]

Where are u guys located

[@jaystechroom]

I went to a shop near my home and they broke one of the studs and told me it was broken. I saw it break right off when they were lowering car lol

[@westondaniel]

Unfortunately 99% of them do not. They just want to get you in and out as fast as possible.

[@derekjlight]

This is how it SHOULD be done. Excellent job guys.

[@lawrenceschmidt3504]

The tires after being mounted to the rim needs to be driven, this is to seat the bead and to heat the sidewall to operating temp. The road-force need to be performed on tires at operating temp only, If this is not done the road force is just a sales pitch.

[@derekjlight]

You must work for Coats lol.

[@soyLachino]

I randomly cam across this video to learn about how road force balancing works. You are guys are true professionals. Very careful and detail oriented with the customer's wheels. Something I can appreciate (as a customer). A+

[@joeishere500]

Both you 2 come alittle south to NC and work for me when I open a Shop. This is the quality I want... Nothing wrong with PARTNERSHIPS...👍👍👍👍👍

[@LoveThyPitBull]

Fantastic job man I wish more shops did this type of work.

[@GCTireandAutoService]

More and more shops are adopting the new tire changers and balancers. Not like the old days, when everything was a steel rim. Are you in the automotive industry?

[@liquidalloy]

The only way to do it. Great video!

[@philm893]

Wow this guy are really taking care of those rims and doing a great job how do I find a shop like that

[@GCTireandAutoService]

Thanks Phil - we have some great technicians that do an awesome job with tires and rims. Thanks for the compliment! Gregg

[@ahotdj07]

Pretty cool. I like how they use masking tape to protect the rims. I wished more shops did that....

[@julioyescas27]

That's what you call professionalism.

[@ralfsautomotive]

Excellent work guys. Piss on the Trolls that gave thumbs down! Very careful mount and balance.

[@GCTireandAutoService]

Thank you Ralf's Automotive - where are you located? Hard to find great techs where you are?

[@ralfsautomotive]

@@GCTireandAutoService Yes, same old story, im in Southern Illinois near the Kentucky Border.

[@qwasti76]

Nice Job, but why no black whight´s?

[@frankmumba3396]

nice stuff as these are techniques machines t boost business😊

[@amana1480]

How much does this cost per wheel?

[@ctonyochoa6598]

Nice job. You guys need the lug centric adapter. You will eliminate the need for tape and more accurate mounting and balancing completely eliminate touching the rim.

[@mtm-hi5nm]

Impressive 👍👍👍👍

[@amana1480]

Good techniques

[@mistamastamind]

Can you RFB a 245/30 ZR24 tire on a 24" rim?

[@tehshzz]

RF was still in the yellow!

[@Zickcermacity]

How did they balance tires/wheels all these years without it? I will never go to a non-Road-Force shop again! :)

[@GCTireandAutoService]

Back before all the computer technology, it was a very rudimentary process to balance wheels and tires... balancing a tire with a bubble balancer

[@chrisk-man8562]

G&C Tire and Auto Service Too bad my local Town Fair couldn't balance my tires after three attempts(two at no charge) - non road-force shop. Never going there again except for the tires themselves. Will have them mounted/balanced at the local dealer(has Road Force).

[@ricochetey]

Zickcermacity Roadforce is irrelevant and inaccurate I have the same model and it is constantly off or the Roadforce is worse after spinning the tire the best way is to balance the tire regular and the one that spins the best goes to left front right front and so on

[@Zickcermacity]

Ricochety: You speak either from a position of ignorance, or, from the perspective of someone who either was not trained in the use of RF or did not consult the setup/operating manual. I have had nothing, NOTHING, but outstanding results on my vehicles with RF as said before, will continue to use providers equipped only with road force balancers.

[@ricochetey]

@John Doe Damn Johnny you sure know a lot about me. I do things right the first time amd have never had a call back personally.

[@factionfx]

what is crazy is how fast it actually is to put the masking tape on there, but nobody does it. I'd pay $5-10 more per wheel to have them take this level of care, and I don't even have that nice of rims.

[@GCTireandAutoService]

Thank you! Tire equipment is expensive these days. At least the best stuff is expensive. What do you think a tire machine like this costs?

[@factionfx]

@@GCTireandAutoService my guess would be 3-5k but lasts for 20 years

[@pokernative76]

So do they test for uniformity?

[@freddyrosenberg9288]

I always have this done. For 15" wheels and tires I paid $90. For 19" wheels and tires I paid $160. Florida.

[@GCTireandAutoService]

Have you seen in tire shops in Florida adding letters to the side of tires? Looks like they are glued on? You can get anything spelled out on the sidewalls.

[@jldude84]

Damn it's getting expensive to have custom wheels these days. You gotta buy the rims, then tires, then mounting them and swapping TPMS sensors over there's another $130+, then God forbid static balancing doesn't get em right then you gotta do this it's just crazy how much shit that's not rubber or alloy adds up.

[@Synthwave89]

@@jldude84 For real dude. And you have to worry about finding a place that won't scuff your wheels or that will balance it right the first time.

[@joeishere500]

For M&B ?? Shit .my shop to install fee just a tad bit of markup on tires .... VOLUME BABY.....

[@joeishere500]

@@GCTireandAutoService ;; yea it's some type of sticker or something

[@BladeBarn]

this is EXACTLY HOW ITS DONE!!! Want a job to work for me? South Florida in Ft Lauderdale only doing exotics pays 30k/yr very light work load but must be PROFESSIONAL for all of it!

[@derekjlight]

TheYoungConnoisseur can you send me more info?

[@joeishere500]

Ya gotta pay more than $15.... Gotta pay what they worth esp around pricey wheels and cars

[@jeffiscool1805]

Had 4 new snow tires mounted on new steel wheels and road force balanced locally. First road force balance ever. Out of curiosity I pulled out my antique snap on hand spin balancer from the 60's that has served me well for a LONG time. It says my balance is off a huge amount on all 4. Why are they so different. Am I that out of touch with new technology?

[@GCTireandAutoService]

Wish someone else would chime in . . . . but it should be the difference between a static balance and a dynamic balance. Anyone else agree or disagree?

[@jldude84]

I'm confused, isn't the purpose of road force balancing to find if a tire is out of round? If so, I don't see how this procedure has fixed that issue. Unless the procedure is only to get a static balance measurement with a load applied to the sidewall...

[@176988]

I'm all for taping the wheel and I 100% agree with that procedure. But why wouldn't the tech have used the fingers to eliminate the risk of debris from the cone?

[@GCTireandAutoService]

Thanks Jon - I will find out. I agree, it is easy to damage a rim & they are not cheap to replace for a customer or have them repaired.

[@dankuzminski650]

I bought a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe and I have vibrations with all seasons and winters at much of the same speeds, I'm thinking its not just the tires is something else out of alignment, I don't think the tech is the best like this guy.

[@stang1966gt]

Did you find a fix? My 2017 Santa Fe has vibrations at all speeds even after new tires, alignment, multiple balances. Dealer now says to road balance.

[@georgiojansen7758]

perfect, lube tire on the floor not on the rim like most KZbinrs do.

[@USMC_BABE38]

Man I'd wished I could balance my own tires

[@williamwomack20]

Was I the only one that seen all the weights on the inboard side

[@mity2]

would this fix my out of round tire issue? My tires are brand new, and have been told that they have "some hop in all 4 tires".

[@Tony-ib2vm]

Find a better shop.

[@Steve42098]

damn all that & its the back tire lol

İyi güzelde biz böyle yavaş lastik taksak müşteri gelmez .
