Road Force Balancing
Road Force Balancing in Kansas City
Eliminate vibrations, extend tire life, and enjoy a smoother ride with our Hunter Road Force Elite balancer — the most advanced wheel balancing technology available.
What Is Road Force Balancing?
Road force balancing goes far beyond traditional spin balancing. Our Hunter Road Force Elite machine applies a roller against the tire to simulate real road conditions under load. This detects subtle tire and wheel imperfections that standard balancers miss — including lateral and radial force variations, uneven tire stiffness, and runout issues.
If you've ever had your tires balanced but still feel a vibration at highway speeds, road force balancing is the solution. It's especially critical for low-profile tires, performance vehicles, and trucks with larger wheel packages.
🔧 Standard Spin Balance
Measures static and dynamic imbalance only. Cannot detect tire stiffness variations or match-mount to the wheel.
✅ Road Force Balance
Simulates real road conditions under load. Detects force variation, runout, match-mounts tire to wheel for the smoothest possible ride.
Signs You Need Road Force Balancing
- Steering wheel vibration at highway speeds (55-75 mph)
- Seat or floorboard shaking that wasn't there before
- Uneven tire wear — cupping, scalloping, or flat spots
- New tires that still vibrate after standard balancing
- Low-profile or performance tires on aftermarket wheels
- Trucks and SUVs with larger wheel/tire packages (20"+)
Our Road Force Balancing Process
Mount & Inspect
We mount each wheel on the Hunter Road Force Elite and visually inspect for damage.
Load Test
A roller applies force to simulate road contact, measuring force variation under real conditions.
Match Mount
The machine identifies the optimal tire-to-wheel position to minimize vibration.
Precision Balance
Weights are placed with pinpoint accuracy. Final verification ensures road force is within spec.

💡 Pro Tip
Always get road force balancing when installing new tires or aftermarket wheels. It's the difference between "balanced" and "perfectly smooth." Most vibration complaints after new tire installs are caused by force variation — something only road force balancing can fix.
