STANDARD BALANCE should be selected when clip-on weights can be used for
both rim flanges.
MIXED WEIGHTS BALANCE should be selected when a clip-on weight can be used
on the inner rim flange, but not on the outer rim flange. Mixed Weights Balance uses
an adhesive weight for the right weight plane instead of a clip-on weight to avoid
marring aluminum rims or to hide weights from view.
ADHESIVE WEIGHTS BALANCE should be selected when clip-on weights cannot be
used on either rim flange.
PATCH BALANCE should be selected when the tire has a very large imbalance in
the tire assembly. The large imbalance can be corrected with Patch Balancing and
then the assembly can be fine-tuned with one of the other balancing procedures.
STANDARD Balancing Procedure (Using Clip-On Weights)
