the late model Hunter machines will also do a "matched Balance" you balance
the Wheel along first, then mount the tire and check balance, if weight is
excessive it will tell you how to ro tate the tire on the wheel to obtain the
best match between tire and wheel, this can be time consuming, thus
expensive, but I have found it worth the time, but I have my own machine,
we do a lot of this for sensitive BMW front ends...I have also seen where cars
that aren't driven daily the tires get a temporary flat spot from sitting in
one place, if this happens inflate to 60 psi or so and leave in the hot sun,
then drive....when the flat spot levels out deflate to proper pressure...tires
with any nylon cords can be very prone to this....all cars using after market
wheels will be prone to careful mounting because they are not hub
centric...I'm going to make sleaves for my Mini Lites, for now I have
installed them with the cone shaped regular lug nuts and then rpl'g one at
atime with the shouldered correct nuts, this helps, but isn't perfect...it's
frustating because the wheels and tires are perfectly straight and have
balanced nicely, but when rotated slowly on the car you can see a small
amount of run out, thus some vibration at certain speeds...Clyde
