[QUOTE="Movie Muscle, post: 103028, member: 2398"] No problem. Balance is just one aspect of getting a good ride. Our wheels are never perfectly round and neither is a tire. Matching high to low spots and accounting for tread and assembly defects helps a ton. A road force balance helps with these other factors. Often reduces the amount of balance weight needed. By adjusting for the imperfections in wheel and tire we reduce the amount of vibration etc due to factors other than just balance. It will also show you if the tire has any belt shift defects etc that a regular balancer will often miss. Manufacturers actually have a spec for the amount of force a tire is allowed to exert before they call it defective. I think it was around 24-26lbs of force for a passenger car tire off the top of my head. In the video he mentions 18lbs of road force was measured and the machine does the calculations and tells him where to re-position the tire to get that force down to 8lbs. The tire and rim assembly putting out 18 pounds vs 8lbs would be quite noticeable to a keen driver . Especially at higher speeds.
