-- Slowly rotate the wheel.

-- Note the smallest and the largest dial readings.

NOTE: If the difference is greater than 1.3 mm, the lateral run-out is too great.

In this case, lateral run-out can be reduced by matched mounting of the tire, refer to MATCHING .

Peak values on the Tire Dial Gauge VAG 1435 due to small irregularities in the rubber may be disregarded.
