Update- Well, buffing got rid of 80% of my problem. Balancing cleaned up the rest. Method- lightly oiled bearings (5weight), no seals, axles, shoes, 2 lug nuts... then let the wheel rotate and come to rest from each direction. Accurate to 4oz (2oz if you like to fuss). Two of the buffed tires...

You assumed wrong. Apples-Well, the Stalwart does not scuff it's tires, it has what is known as 'windup', a.k.a. keep your foot down when you turn hard on pavement. I should also point out that the Stalwart's 2inch/ 1 inch spec. is for circumference, not diameter. The buffing procedure is a...

Sorry, your's is better. Never tried it. I'm kind of a lead guy and I seem to be taking 'em apart every few months;) so that might be messy. I would like to make a stand with a 5 ton hub, lightly oiled, no seals, then let gravity do it. Worked good on motorcycles....I think balance is worth...

Maybe not. My Stalwart, a 5 tonne w/1400 x 20's, is diameter critical because of the direct driveline (per side, it does had a locking diff between sides). The EMER (a.k.a TM) spec., if I remember correctly, allows for 2” front to back and 1”side to side, at 30psi, with largest tyres on the...

Update to post # 14. I had a tire re-capper* south of Rochester buff the three Goodyear 1400x20 radials. They were all off axially by 1/4 –3/8”. The whole process took 5 min per tire. Charge was $20/ea which he guessed at, said it was twice the going rate for the race car tires guys come in...

My 813 w/1400 x 20 has it bad at 30mph +/-5mph. Looks like it is 1/4" radial run-out on 2 rears. Adding air (90psi) made it worse. It is a resonance. Either the sidewall or the spring is storing the energy, adding it to the next rev... I am going to try having a local re-capper buff them.
