for even tread wear and precise steering. Uneven
front or rear tyre wear can lead to misalignment.
Following precautions should be taken while
balancing wheel:
Deposits of mud, dust etc. must be cleaned
from inside of the rim.
Remove stones from tread, clean the tyre and
rim before balancing to achieve better results.
Each tyre should be inspected for any damage.
Do not use more than one balance weight on
one side.
Use coated weights on aluminum wheels/rims
to prevent damage to the finish.
The type of balance weights, when used, must
be in accordance with the profile of the rim
flange.
NOTE
For balancing wheel, follow the manufacturer’s (of
balancing machine) manual for balancing
instructions, recommendations and any other
additional information.
C. TYRE ROTATION
To equalize wear rotate the tyres as per the figure
given below periodically. Tyre rotation is
recommended for achieving identical wear on each
tyre. Regular rotation of tyres will also prevent
abnormal wear. The sketch indicates a suggested
sequence of tyre rotation. Rotate tyre at a point
specified in the service schedule.
NOTE
The tyre rotation should always be done including
the spare wheel. Spare wheel can be excluded
from rotation in the following conditions
If the spare wheel is damaged and not
recommended for normal use.
If the spare wheel size is different from the
normal tyres.
