Tire and Wheel Assembly Balancer Calibration

Tire and wheel balancers can drift out of calibration over time or can become inaccurate as a result of heavy use. There will likely not be any visual evidence that a calibration problem exists. If a balancer is not calibrated within specifications and a tire and wheel assembly is balanced on that machine, the assembly may actually be imbalanced.

Tire and wheel assembly balancer calibration should be checked approximately every 2 weeks, if the machine is used frequently and/or whenever the balance readings are questionable.
