Powder Balancing

[Tom Warner]

Jon I can sure feel an out of balance tire and the heavier the tire is the
more you can feel it. It is this out of balance condition that forces the
tire down against the pavement and the resulting rebound that causes the
balancing beads to be forced to a point opposite to the heavy spot in the
tire. The company has found that in the case of an automobile the
suspension is designed for a much smooter ride and the beads designed for
trucks do not distribute themselves the same way when installed in an
automobile.
