how do i do a home wheel balance on my truck tires?

Answer 1

Almost impossible to du'd need to at home, you'd need to buy a bubble balancer, or make one, It's easier to go to a tire shop, some around here balance for free, or very minimal fee, to try and get you as tire customer

Answer 2

You can balance the tires statically. make a jig that will support the tire and wheel through the center, the bar used must be close to the inside diameter of the center hole. Slowly spin the tire until it stops and mark the top of the tire in the center with chalk. This is the lightest side of the tire. repeat a couple of times to make sure that it returns to this same position. Add a little weight near the chalk mark until the tire no longer stops at the same position. This is how tires are balanced for motorcycles, and the way it was done before dynamic balancers. However, the rotational mass of a truck tire is many times that of a motorcycle tire, so it is important to be accurate, and don't drive 75 mph until you feel the tire is balanced to specification.

Answer 3

Here's the CORRECT answer. No homemade rig will accurately balance your tires the way they need to be balanced. Modern tires are especially sensitive to being properly balanced. Take your tires to a tire shop or garage and they will balance them properly. You can even have it done at your local Walmart's auto shop. It's not that expensive, and a whole lot cheaper than replacing a few hundred bucks' worth of tires, or front end repair work from riding on improperly balanced tires.

Hope this helped.

Answer 4

Hold the wheel on your index finger and place one arm extended out and spin the tire as fast as possible. OK, did you notice the 1/64th of an inch variance? Good, now take this question, unscrew your 710 cap, put this question in your 710 cap. Start car and poof you are done! Oh, by the way, don't do this. Suck it up and take your car to a tire professional. 65% of the time, a wheel shimmy comes from mis-balanced tires.

Answer 5

Buy a balancing machine. Find a place to put it. Remove tire from vehicle. Mount tire on balancing machine. Start machine. Add weights where the machine indicates. Done.

Answer 6

This is not a job you can do at home unless you have a wheel balancer sitting around.

Answer 7

Hold 1 wheel in each hand with arms extended outward untill you drop 1. the one you dident drop is the lightest therefor it needs the weight attached to it . simple huh?

Answer 8

You have to go somehere to do that, cant do that yourself hun!
