Front Tire Bounce

[RICZ]

I find this contrary to everything I know about - Why front tires need to be balanced.....:

Easy there Mike. Yes, tires need to be balanced, no question. But the I-Force is not for the lightly loaded tires of a Spyder. IMHO

I am not familiar with the term "I Force". Could it be the same a "Road Force"? I was having some vibration from the rear tires of my GL trike. Tires were new. Had them Road Force balanced and all is now good up to 100+ MPH. I'm trying to wrap my mind around why vehicle weight would make a difference in performance of balanced/unbalanced tires.....? Seems to me if a tire is out of balance, it would be felt more under a lighter load.....? Jim

When I had the Federals installed on the front, I asked for Road Force balancing and what I wrote is what they told me. The place I go to is very experienced, so I took them at their word and got a conventional spin balance on a new machine. BTW, the Federals only needed 1/2 ounce each and are silky smooth at all speeds.

So the tires were " SPUN BALANCED " ...... nuf said ......" Tires " and what they did and didn't or couldn't do was part of my job as an LEO, my training didn't include knowing How every " high speed tire balancing machine worked " ....because frankly it didn't matter.. Mike :thumbup:

If you know they have a 40mm shaft on there balancer this would be the cone to use for the front wheel.
