Note
♦
If the radial and lateral run-out value is not exceeded, the
wheel can be balanced to 0 grams. Specifications. Refer to
⇒ page 285 .
♦
If the radial and lateral run-out lies outside the specified val‐
ues, the tire must be turned again.
– Let the air out and remove the tire beads from the wheel rim
flanges.
– Rotate the tire 90° (one quarter of a turn) relative to the disc
wheel
– Inflate the tire to 4 bar again and check the run-out.
Note
♦
If the radial and lateral run-out value is not exceeded, the
wheel can be balanced to 0 grams.
♦
If the radial and lateral run-out is still outside the specified val‐
ues, the wheel must be turned again.
– Press the tire beads off the rim flanges.
– Rotate the tire 180° (half of a turn) relative to the disc wheel
If the values for radial or lateral run-out are still outside the speci‐
fied values, check the wheel for radial and lateral run-out. Refer
to
⇒ “12.9 Disc Wheel, Checking Radial and Lateral Run Out”, page
286 .
If the measured values for radial and lateral run-out of the wheel
disc are within the specified values, then the tire has excessive
radial or lateral run-out. In this case, the tire must be replaced.
Note
♦
Assembly paste from mounting tires is located between tires
and rim flanges.
♦
Avoid strong braking or acceleration maneuvers during the
first 100 to 200 km (62.1 to 124.2 miles). Otherwise, the tires
can rotate on the rims and the work done would then be un‐
done!
12.11 Flat Spots in Tires From Standing
What is A Flat Spot from Standing?
Terms like flat portion, flattening, are also used as a term for flat
spots from standing.
Flat spots from standing cause vibration, like an incorrectly bal‐
anced wheel. It is important to recognize a flat spot in the tread
from standing as such!
Flat spots from standing cannot be corrected by balancing, and
can occur again at any time under various circumstances. Flat
spots from standing can be corrected without complicated special
tools. Provided that the flat spot was not caused by wheel lock
during hard braking. Refer to ⇒ Wheel and Tire Guide General
