Default High Speed/Road Force balance

We have a local member that bought a High Speed/Road Force balancer. Had the manufacturer rep deliver and teach him the proper way to high speed balance a tire. It takes lots of time and effort to get it right and the results are amazing. High tech, lasers, etc and takes at least 1 hour to balance 4 tires. After balancing or attempting to balance 16 tires one day, 4 tires were classified as BAD tires, could not be balanced.

There are a few tire shops around that have them but the employees a poorly trained on the proper way to use them, add to that they charge you $120 to do 4 tires, avoid them. I had a minor vibration at speed, had all four balanced, big difference. Good luck finding a shop with one of these machines and even better luck finding someone that knows how to use it properly.
