[QUOTE="FIREBALL, post: 16508158, member: 178539"] A wheel cant be road forced without a tire but Sullivans checks wheels for out of round or bent, Americas tires didnt check the wheels but I already knew the wheels were ok, When they road force a wheel/tire, the tire will be re-positioned on the wheel until the out of round spot on the tire matches a better spot on the wheel (dont know how machine knows that)) but if the tire is majorly out of round then no matter where the tire is re-positioned it will show up on the machine as failing the road force test, which is usually 20lb or more.----- When the wheel/tire is spinning the machine has a metal roller that presses on the tire, the out of round spot applies more pressure to the metal roller and that registers in pounds. A tire and wheel can be in balance but still goes over the acceptable limit of 20lb pressure. Like me once you see it done it makes more sense. [/QUOTE]
