Road Force Balance and Tire Rotation
So after you get a Road Force balancing, will rotating the tires, putting the front wheels in the rear and vice versa, make the Road Force balance useless?

That's what I thought. But the guy at simplytire told me otherwise. The wheels that I wanted to be in the front, they installed it in the back. So I came back and ask to put it in front. The guy said that road force chooses which wheel is best to be put in front that's why they put the wheel in front. And if they install it in the rear the balance will be useless and the money I paid for balancing is wasted.

Ok that makes sense. But just by visual inspection though the tires in front are the bald ones. And the rear wheels have the better tires. I guess that doesn't matter I will change it to winter tires anyway.l69norm wrote: ↑Not all wheels/tires are perfectly balanced or round., even after roadforce
Roadforce lets you know which pair of the tires are the worst so you know to put those on the rear
. The best pair goes on the front
99% of the time, it doesn't matter for rotation. After a while in use, normal tire wear throws thing off anyway

Why would you bother to balance almost bald tires?

Long story, I bought a used set of wheels but one tire is ripped and I needed the car for my wife's road test so I just bought what they have which is the 2 bald tires. Not that bald, still good for maybe couple of months. Free balancing. I didn't buy new set of tires because the wheels I bought are for the winter set. So the bald tires will be replaced in a few weeks anyway.BeaverLiquor wrote: ↑Why would you bother to balance almost bald tires?
Either way, I'd keep the bald tires on the front, with the weight of the engine it will help with traction.
