Overview
Hunter Road Force balancing simulates a real road test: a heavy roller presses up to 567kg against the tyre to mimic the weight of your car. It measures both the rim and the tyre, then tells our technician exactly how to rotate the tyre on the wheel so the high and low spots cancel out — curing stubborn high-speed shakes a standard spin balance can't.

Frequently asked questions
My steering wheel shimmies at 80–90km/h — is it my alignment?
No — an alignment won't fix that. Your wheels are out of balance and need balancing.
How is Road Force different from normal balancing?
A normal balancer spins the wheel in the air. Road Force loads it like the road does, so it finds tyre uniformity problems a spin balance can't see.
Why does it matter for AWD vehicles?
Differences in tyre circumference can stress an all-wheel-drive system. Road Force identifies them before they cause damage.
