- 5.NOTE: Masking tape can be applied on the center tread rib to allow for a smoother measuring surface. Some fluctuation of the gauge reading is expected. Observe the overall sweep of the gauge from the highest to the lowest spot on the tire.
Position a suitable dial indicator and stand with the dial indicator on the center tread rib.
- Rotate the wheel and tire assembly (or wheel) to locate the low spot.
- Adjust the runout gauge to read 0.
- Rotate the wheel and tire assembly one complete revolution to make sure that the low spot has been found and that the dial indicator returns to a 0 reading.
- 6. While slowly and constantly rotating the wheel and tire assembly (or wheel), measure the radial runout.
- Note the variance (runout) from 0 on the dial of the gauge.
- If the runout reading of a wheel and tire assembly is greater than 1.14 mm (0.045 in), locate and temporarily mark the high spot and runout reading on the sidewall of the tire and carry out the Match Mounting procedure to optimize the wheel and tire assembly.
- If the runout reading of a wheel and tire assembly is 1.14 mm (0.045 in) or less, permanently mark the high spot and the runout reading on the inward sidewall of the tire for reference during future wheel and tire service. Balance the assembly and install the wheel and tire on the vehicle using the Wheel-to-Hub Optimization procedure.
